Abstract

Preeclampsia remains an important cause of avoidable maternal morbidity and mortality. Publication of guidelines and monitoring adherence to life-saving therapies should be prioritized. Prediction of fluid responsiveness requires individual hemodynamic investigation. Future studies are required to determine the optimal early warning system and monitoring tools for providing early and non-invasive hemodynamic assessment.
