Hemodynamic profiles in severe preeclamptic and superimposed preeclamptic pregnancies

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the hemodynamic profiles of pregnancy-induced hypertension cases. Hemodynamic measurements were performed in five severe preeclamptic and three superimposed preeclamptic cases. We applied Swan-Ganz catheters and measured hemodynamic parameters. According to the results, we suggest that pulmonary edema occurs more easily in severe preeclampsia than in superimposed preeclampsia.
