unconsciousness fits albumin urea in the setting of preeclampsia.
Study:
An extensive elaborative study carried out from 2005 to 2009, to study the therapeutic and prophylactic role of magnesium
sulphate and Diazepam in Eclampsia.
Aim:
To study the role of magnesium sulphate (MgSO
4
) vs. Diazepam in reducing maternal mortality ratio (MMR), neonatal
mortality rate (NMR) in Eclampsia.
Study Design:
This was a comparative study. Total 500 patients of fulminant pre-eclampsia /eclampsia including booked/
unbooked patients attending Lady Willingdon Hospital were admitted, evaluated, assessed and put on MgSO
4
vs. Diazepam
divided in two groups. The results were compared which showed of MgSO

King Edward Medical University Lahore managed in ICU according to a specially design proforma, protocol and were given MgSO4
and Diazepam for control of fits, Hydralazine, Labetalol and Isoket infusions for lowering blood pressure (MgSO
4
) A+B. Diazepam,
with multidisciplinary involvement divided in two groups, compared and followed up.
Results:
In Group A, there were 20 mothers and in Group B, 40 mothers died. It was observed that maternal mortality was
significantly higher in Group B women as compared to that of Group A. i.e. (p-value=0.005).
Conclusion:
The comparative study and of role of MgSO
4
vs. Diazepam in reducing mortality, morbidity in maternities, neoneties,
