Conditions

Hypertension During Pre-Eclampsia

Keywords

PRE-ECLAMPSIA-URAPIDIL-NICARDIPINE

Brief summary

The aim of this study is to confirm that URAPIDIL is as efficient and as safe as NICARDIPINE to correct severe hypertension in pre-eclamptic patients. * efficacy endpoint : mean arterial blood pressure corrected to 105-125 mmHg after 120 min of study drug administration. * safety endpoints : clinical, biological and ultrasound observation for any side effect.All infants will be observed in the neonatology unit (during 48h).

Interventions

DRUGURAPIDIL (EUPRESSYL*)

Urapidil (Eupressyl\*) :IV (PSE) 1 microg/kg/min° until reduction PAM 15 %. Reduction ¼ of the posology to obtain PAM between 105 and 125 mmHg with adjustment 0.25 microg/kg/min/15 min. Maximal dose = 30mg/h.

DRUGNICARDIPINE

Nicardipine : IV 6.25 mg bolus until PAD \>105 mm/Hg. Perfusion (PSE) 4 mg/h to obtain PAM between 105 and 125 mm/Hg with adjustment 2mg/h/5 min without overshoot 20 mg/h Maximal treatment duration : 7 days
