>In the patient described above, we all would start MgSO4 and Sorry to disagree, but I'd induce her but wouldn't give MgSO4, not aware of clear evidence of benefit in this context. I'm loking forward to the MAGPIE trial which will answer the question. About a lab panel. I have reservations about routinely doing any test which won't influence management (as you suggest might be so here), but I think there is some benefit in defining a standard panel for cases where delivery may not be imminent. If only to avoid all those stupid clotting tests - clotting is never abnormal in pre-eclampsia unless platelets are low.

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.
