Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  INTRAVENOUS HYDRALAZINE  Inj. Hydralazine 5 mg shall be administered slowly intravenously over 5 min.

Monitor vitals for 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min Repeat the same with a maximum of 4 doses. Monitor vitals for at 5min,10min,15min, 30 min, 1hour, 2 hours,3 hours 4hours, 5 hours and 6 hours. The regimen can be continued or changed after 6 hours if blood pressure does not reduce or earlier. Throughout the entire process, fetal heart rate will be monitored. If any abnormal fetal heart rate or compromised maternal condition is detected, the trial will be discontinued, and appropriate treatment shall be administered by the treating doctor. 
Intervention  INTRAVENOUS LABETALOL  Subjects receive Labetalol 20 mg in 100ML NS infusion. The blood pressure will be measured after 5 min, and if the BP is still found to be high(i.e. BP more 160/110 mm hg), Inj. Labetalol 20 mg will be administered again slowly iv over 2 minutes. after 10 min, if BP is still higher than the threshold (Above 160/110 mm hg), Inj Labetalol 40 MG shall be administered in an escalating dose of Inj. Labetalol 80 mg, with a maximum of 4 doses. Pulse and BP to be recorded at 5 min,10 min,15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour , 4 hour, 5 hour AND 6 hours The regimen can be continued or changed after 6 hours or if blood pressure does not reduce earlier. Throughout the entire process ,Fetal heart rate will be monitored. If any abnormal fetal heart rate or compromised maternal condition is detected, the trial will be discontinued, and appropriate treatment shall be administered by the treating doctor.

Brief Summary  

This study aims to compare Inj. Labetalol with Inj. Hydralazine in Severe hypertension in pregnancy and to observe the adverse effects of these drugs in pregnant women.

Group A- Receiving Inj. Labetalol and Group B - Receiving Inj. Hydralazine

Subjects received Labetalol 20 mg in 100ml NS infusion. Blood pressure will be measured after 5 min, and if either BP threshold is still found to be high (BP more than 160/110 mmHg), Inj. Labetalol 20 mg will be administered again slowly intravenously over 2 min. After 10 min, if BP is still higher than the threshold (above 160/110 mmhg), Inj. Labetalol 40 mg shall be administered in an escalating dose of Inj. Labetalol 80mg, with a maximum of 4 doses .Pulse and Bp to be recorded at 5min,10min,15min, 30 min, 1hr, 2hr, 3hr 4hr, 5hr and  6 hours .The regimen can be continued or changed after 6 hours or if blood pressure does not reduce earlier.

Hydralazine 5 mg shall be administered slowly intravenously over 5 min. Monitor vitals for 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min .If the blood pressure does not settle, after 20 min, repeat 5 mg of Inj Hydralazine over 5 min .Monitor vitals for 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min .Repeat the same with a maximum of 4 doses. Monitor vitals for at 5min,10min,15min, 30 min, 1hr, 2hr,3hr, 4hr, 5hr and  6hr.The regimen can be continued or changed after 6 hours or if blood pressure does not reduce or earlier.

Throughout the entire process, fetal heart rate will be monitored. If any abnormal fetal heart rate or compromised maternal condition is detected, the trial will be discontinued, and appropriate treatment shall be administered by the treating doctor.

This study is being done to find the effectiveness of the two intravenous drugs, Hydralazine and Labetalol, in the management of severe Hypertension in pregnancy with respect to lowering blood pressure,  and the maternal outcomes with Inj. Hydralazine and Inj. Labetalol with respect to heart rate, BP,  any adverse outcome and need for additional antihypertensive therapy. Other adverse outcomes with respect to the drug.
