<<At this point, what should be the next step in her management? How soon should the pregnancy be resolved? Is it wise to observe her, wait upon lab results, while inducing pulmonary maturity with steroids? And how about using oral antihypertensive drugs during that lapse?>>

I would be happy with induction NOW. Some new data on steroids and preeclampsia might lead some to give steroids and wait for fetal lung maturity, but in that case, WATCH HER CLOSELY.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
