Registration Number
NCT04539379
Lead Sponsor
Zagazig University
Brief Summary

the purpose of this study is to compare Intravenous infusion of Labetalol versus Magnesium Sulfate on Cerebral Hemodynamics of Severe Preeclampsia Patients using Transcranial Doppler

Detailed Description

after being informed about the study and potential risks. All patients giving written consent will be randomized by double blind manner into 2 groups each one containing 30 patients , (Group M) : will be given intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate at a dose of 4 gm intravenously over 20 min as a loading dose then MgSO4 intravenous infusion is continued at a rate of 1 gm/h for 24 h or until obtain and stabilize the targeted blood pressure..

(Group L) : The patients will be given intravenous infusion of labetalol (Trandate™,) available in 20 ml ampoules containing 100mg labetalol (5mg/ml). Starting the infusion with 20mg/h and then titrate to obtain and stabilize the targeted blood pressure by adjusting the infusion as required every 15 - 30min to a maximum dose of 160mg/hr.
