It can be life-threatening if not properly treated. If the doctor didn’t properly address postpartum preeclampsia or was otherwise negligent in contributing to the condition, Cleveland lawyers can help Ohio families explore taking legal action to recover compensation for their damages.
The symptoms of postpartum preeclampsia are often ignored because the mother is often focused on the new baby.
Women should, however, be aware of the following signs:
Like preeclampsia, postpartum preeclampsia should be carefully monitored by a doctor to avoid complications such as postpartum eclampsia, which can cause damage to vital organs, blood clots, and for some women it may even lead to death.
There are a few medications used to treat the symptoms of postpartum preeclampsia. Magnesium sulfate can help prevent seizures, while antihypertensive medications may be given to lower blood pressure. Monitoring preeclampsia that occurs following delivery is also very important to avoid eclampsia after birth.
Doctors have a duty to address preeclampsia (even after birth) and other medical conditions and treat them timely in order to keep the baby and the mother safe. Cleveland lawyers at Mellino Robenalt LLC in Ohio can help clients who suspect negligence contributed to or caused injuries or a medical condition, such as postpartum eclampsia.
