Eclampsia: steady the room

Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed

29-year-old woman for eclampsia recognition, coordinated maternal-fetal response, reassessment, and handoff practice. About 7 simulated minutes.

What you will practise

  • Connect the seizure clock, recovery, severe pressure, organs, fetal context, and whole person.
  • Recognize the supplied eclampsia pattern after a first seizure while dangerous alternatives remain open.
  • Activate maternal stabilization, seizure, severe-pressure, airway-ready, obstetric, fetal, and dignity-centered response now.
  • Review supplied neurologic, airway, aspiration, organ, fetal, metabolic, toxic, infectious, and trauma evidence.
  • Review the fixed later recovery, pressure, breathing, fetal, and organ report.
  • Hand off recurrence, airway, aspiration, stroke, pressure, organ, fetal, delivery, and outcome risk.
