    Notes: Objective To determine plasma phenytoin levels and seizure outcome in women given phenytoin for seizure prophylaxis in severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.Design Prospective observational study comparing two phenytoin loading regimens.Setting Two UK teaching hospitals.Subjects Sixty-seven consecutive women with severe pre-eclampsia and five with eclampsia.Interventions The first 29 women were given a 15 mg/kg intravenous loading dose of phenytoin. The next 43 received 17.5 mg/kg. All were given 500 mg phenytoin 12 h after completion of the loading dose and then 250 mg every 12 h for four doses.Main outcome measures Total plasma phenytoin levels at 30 min, 6 h and 12 h after loading dose, 6 h after first maintenance dose and on days 2 and 3 of maintenance therapy; eclamptic seizures after starting phenytoin.Results Mean plasma phenytoin levels were higher at 30 min and 6 h after the 17.5 mg/kg loading dose. Nine of 29 (31%) phenytoin levels 30 min after the loading dose were above the therapeutic range in the 15 mg/kg group compared with 26/38 (68%) in the 17.5 mg/kg group (P〈0.01). Six of 27 (22%) phenytoin levels 12 h after the loading dose were subtherapeutic in the 15 mg/kg group compared with 2/38 (5%) in the 17.5 mg/kg group (P〈0.05). Three women, two in the 17.5 mg/kg group, developed seizures after starting phenytoin. All three had plasma levels within the therapeutic range.Conclusions Compared with a loading dose of 17.5 mg/kg, loading with 15 mg/kg phenytoin was associated with a lower incidence of high plasma levels at 30 min but a higher incidence of subtherapeutic levels at 12 h. Seizures occur in 2 to 3% of pre-eclamptics despite apparently therapeutic phenytoin levels.

    Notes: Objective To assess the effectiveness of second trimester 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement as a screening test for pre-eclampsia.Design Prospective interventional study.Setting John Radcliffe Maternity Hospital, Oxford, and Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, London.Subjects One hundred and sixty-two normotensive nulliparous women recruited at hospital booking clinics.Intervention Ambulatory blood pressure was measured at 18 and 28 weeks gestation using the TM2420 monitor.Main outcome measure The development of pre-eclampsia.Results Awake systolic and mean arterial pressures were significantly increased (P〈0.02) at 18 weeks in those who later developed pre-eclampsia. Those differences were more apparent at 28 weeks at which time the diastolic pressure was also increased (P〈0.01). At both stages of gestation the higher readings were sustained during sleep so that the awake-sleep differences were similar in relation to each outcome. The group with incipient pre-eclampsia had a significantly faster heart rate at both 18 and 28 weeks (P〈0.002) The sensitivity in predicting pre-eclampsia for a mean arterial pressure of 85 mmHg or greater at 28 weeks was 65%, with a positive predictive value of 31 %. The sensitivity and positive predictive value for a test combining a mean arterial pressure of 85 mmHg or greater and a heart rate of 90 bpm or greater were 53% and 45%, respectively.Conclusion Although second trimester ambulatory blood pressure is significantly increased in women who later develop pre-eclampsia, the predictive values for blood pressure alone are low. The efficiency of the test is increased by combining the awake ambulatory heart rate and blood pressure measurement together. If an effective method for preventing pre-eclampsia becomes available (commencing at 28 weeks gestation), then awake ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate may have some clinical value as a screening test.

    Notes: Obstetric cholestasis is associated with intrauterine death. In obstetric cholestasis, primary bile acids are more commonly conjugated with taurine than glycine, while glycoconjugates predominate in normal pregnancy. Using an in vitro model of rat cardiomyocytes, we compared the effect of tauro- and glycoconjugated cholate on cardiomyocyte rhythm, contraction amplitude and network integrity. We demonstrated that taurocholate had a more marked effect on all of these parameters, and the effects of the glycoconjugates were fully reversible while those of tauroconjugates were not. The increased proportion of tauroconjugated bile acids in obstetric cholestasis may contribute to the aetiology of the intrauterine death associated with the condition.

    Notes: Objective To establish whether the therapeutic agents ursodeoxycholic acid and dexamethasone protect cardiomyocytes from taurocholate-induced arrhythmias in an in vitro model.Design Laboratory study.Setting Imperial College London, Hammersmith Campus.Sample Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.Methods Using scanning ion conductance microscopy, we measured the rate, rhythm, amplitude of contraction and calcium dynamics of ventricular myocytes from one to two day old rats. Cells were pre-incubated for 16 hours in dexamethasone (80 or 800 nM) or 0.1 mM ursodeoxycholic acid before adding taurocholate at different concentrations (0.3–4.5 mM).Main outcome measures Changes in rate and amplitude of contraction, calcium dynamics and rhythm.Results Taurocholate at concentrations of up to 3 mM induces abnormal changes including reductions in rate, amplitude of contraction, abnormal calcium dynamics and dysrhythmias. Although dexamethasone had no immediate protective effect on these changes, pre-incubation with dexamethasone was protective. Ursodeoxycholic acid pre-incubation was protective at taurocholate concentrations up to 1 mM.Conclusion The therapeutic agents dexamethasone and ursodeoxycholic acid appear protective against the arrhythmogenic effect of taurocholate on cardiomyocytes.
