Conservative Management of OB Patients with Hypertensive Disorders
Background
Hypertensive disorders contribute about 6-8 percent of complications in pregnancies (Macedo et al., 2020) and contribute a significant percentage of maternal mortality. Socioeconomic and demographic factors are the main contributors to this problem, as Macedo et al. (2020) further note. The lives of mothers and the unborn are essential, and the issue needs to be addressed effectively. It only means that healthcare quality is a primary factor to consider in saving pregnancies. Third world countries face many problems that even the healthcare sector cannot effectively address preventable problems like hypertension in OB patients (Chappell et al., 2019). However, the issue cuts across all countries.
Problem statement
The world has lost several women to their infants to hypertension. The issue has raised the alarm and needs to be urgently addressed to minimize women's cases and their infants dying. Different scholars have studied the problem but have not exhausted all the helpful options. Again, knowledge is progressive, and new understanding improves the existing one in improving the healthcare sector. This study aims to finds out whether conservative management helps OB patients with hypertension.
Purpose of the change proposal
Conservative management entails avoiding invasive measures like surgery to treat a disorder (Macedo et al., 2020). Most times, pregnant women have an extreme hormonal imbalance, making them resist some primary conservative management treatment like lifestyle moderations. Some of them insist on eating some junk foods in the name of cravings. Some are also lazy to carry out physical exercises as advised by their counselors. However, conservative management is the best remedy for OB patients with hypertensive disorders (Amro & Sibai, 2020).
It is always essential to make an accurate diagnosis, especially on pregnant women. Evidence-based solutions work better to save the lives of pregnant women with these conditions. The first step involves making the correct blood pressure measurements for proper treatment (Bouter & Duvekot, 2020). Taking the wrong measures can be very detrimental because the false condition will be treated. Once a diagnosis is made, it is vital to act quickly, given the danger of hypertension, especially on vulnerable patients like pregnant women. Acting would involve reaching out to the patients' close family or friends and making successful conservative management for the OB patient. Hypertension patients, especially pregnant women, are susceptible. Physicians need to deal with them carefully by communicating in a friendly manner to avoid lowering their self-esteem.
The primary goal of any healthcare is patient care. Pregnant women with hypertensive disorders, therefore, need a comprehensive healthcare plan to shelve them. Chappell et al. (2019) say that the healthcare plan should include frequent visits to a physician during pregnancy, prenatal counseling, monitoring and care, timely delivery, and follow up. Counseling is...
