About this course:

This role-based education module covers hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia. These disorders are a leading cause of maternal and infant deaths in the United States. Prompt recognition, management, and treatment of severe hypertension and preeclampsia reduces morbidity and mortality. The MedStar Health Clinical Practice Guideline for Treatment of Women with Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy and Clinical Practice Guideline for Magnesium Sulfate for Pre-Eclampsia and Eclampsia provide evidence-based guidance on recognition, treatment, and management of these conditions for providers, midwives, and nursing staff.
