| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary end point(s): observation study variabeles during 48 hours Cardiovascular variabels: systolic, diastolic and mean bloodpressure, oxygen saturation, pulse and cardiac output ( and the systemic vascular resistance). Plasmavolume-measurement.;Main Objective: The first aim is to study the cardiovascular effects of nifedipine in pregnancy in patients with preeclampsia. Our aim is to answer the following questions: Does Adalat GITS with plasmavolume expansion in patients with preeclampsia, lead significantly more often to a desired (ca 20%), controlled, reduction of the peripheral vascular resistance (calculated from the mean arterial pressure and the cardiac output) than without plasmavolume expansion? ;Secondary Objective: Secundairy aims: 1. Does Adalat GITS with plasmavolume expansion in patients with preeclampsia lead less often to a change in the doppler flow profiles of the uterina artery, the variability of the foetal hartrhythm, as a sign of changed uterine perfusion? 2. Characterization of the pharmocokinetics in patients with preeclampsia of Adalat GITS with or without plasmavolume expansion | — |
