Hypertensive Emergencies in Pregnancy.
Critical Care Clinics 2016 January
The prevalence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy is increasing. The etiology and pathophysiology of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy remain poorly understood. Hypertensive disorders are a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Treatment of hypertension decreases the incidence of severe hypertension, but it does not impact rates of preeclampsia or other pregnancy complications.

Appropriate antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum management is important in caring for patients with hypertensive disorders.
