Design: Randomised control trial
SETTING: Department Obstetrics & gynaecology, Services Hospital, Services Institute of Medical Sciences. Lahore
POPULATION: Pregnant patients with BP 160/110 or symptoms of severe preeclampsia
METHODS: Patients are randomised to receive nifedipine (10 mg tablet, orally, up to five doses) and intravenous placebo saline injection or intravenous labetalol injection (in an escalating dose regimen of 20, 40, 80, 80 and 80 mg) and a placebo tablet every 15 minutes until the target blood pressure of ≤140/90mmHg is achieved. Crossover treatment is given if the initial treatment regimen is unsuccessful
Gestational hypertension is associated with increased risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. Parenteral therapy needs more resources, more monitoring and supervision. Oral therapy is cheap, easily available, easy to administer especially in resource constrained settings
