Blood pressure
Blood pressure control is used to prevent stroke, which accounts for 15 to 20 percent of deaths in women with eclampsia. The agents of choice for blood pressure control during eclampsia are hydralazine or labetalol. This is because of their effectiveness, lack of negative effects on the fetus, and mechanism of action. Blood pressure management is indicated with a diastolic blood pressure above 105–110 mm Hg.
