Care providers frequently use point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) on pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia to prevent serious afflictions such as cerebral complications or cardiorespiratory failure. Present-day ultrasound research has found a number of indicators for pulmonary interstitial syndrome (PIS) and a higher optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), the latter of which could indicate elevated intracranial pressure. As of now, irregular laboratory markers of oncotic pressure and cardiac dysfunction have inconclusive clinical applications; many experts posit that reduced serum albumin level is a contributor to excessive brain fluid and brain swelling. These investigators examined patients with preeclampsia to determine how PIS, ONSD, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and serum albumin level contribute to cardiac dysfunction. They also aimed to study the comparison of information acquired from a POCUS examination to information recorded with traditional clinical methods.
and clinically significant scenarios. Development and implementation of PPH carts on L&D units across the country can improve PPH treatment time and reduce associated morbidity and mortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
