Observational Study
Analgesia use among 984 women with preeclampsia: A retrospective observational single-center study.
To determine the incidence of platelet count <100,000 mm-3 and percentage decrease in platelet count in the 72 h prior to delivery in women with preeclampsia. ⋯ These findings suggest that the incidence of thrombocytopenia in women with preeclampsia, especially platelet count <70,000 mm-3, is uncommon as is further decrease in platelet count after admission.

Evidence suggests that administering appropriate volumes of perioperative fluid replacement therapies can decrease the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). However, the relative effects of colloids and crystalloids on PONV are still unclear. The objective of this systematic review was to determine whether administering colloids to adults undergoing noncardiac surgery significantly reduces PONV incidence and rescue antiemetic use, compared with administering crystalloids. ⋯ Colloid administration reduced the incidence of PONV in adults undergoing elective, noncardiac, major surgery under general anesthesia for >3 h. However, clinical studies performed in larger cohorts are required to determine the impact of colloids on PONV.
