Krampfanfall und Koma bei Schwangeren und Wöchnerinnen

Emergencies involving coma and seizures are rare events during pregnancy but are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Common conditions include epilepsy, eclampsia, hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperventilation, and stroke, which have a higher incidence during pregnancy and the postpartum period. First-line therapy consists of cardiopulmonary stabilization, left lateral position, glucose, and antiepileptic drugs. Prompt diagnosis is important for further management to avoid severe maternal and fetal complications.
