Gustav Woyer. (From the clinic of Prof. Schauta). - A case of eclampsia in mother and child. - (Centr. F. Gynaec., No. 13, 1895)

The course and therapy of this case is so interesting that I will allow myself to give a detailed abstract of it. 30-year-old, first childbirth, delivered to the clinic in an unconscious state. According to relatives, she had 2 convulsive seizures during the last 2 hours. Soon after arrival, a new one came - the third seizure of convulsions, 5 minutes in duration, characteristic of eclampsia. The pulse rate is about 120 per minute, severe tracheal wheezing, foam at the mouth, deep cyanosis, soporosis. After some time, my condition improved somewhat. Pulse 96 beats, breathing 36 per minute — superficial. The catheter was delivered 30 ccm. concentrated, dark brown urine, containing 9 ‰, according to Essbach’y, protein, and in the sediment had numerous granular and epithelial casts.
