    AbstractSevere dysfunction of the pulmonary, renal, hepatic, and central nervous systems as a consequence of preeclampsia--eclampsia warrant aggressive multidisciplinary management and treatment. Preventive therapy, when possible or early recognition and therapy are clearly associated with improved maternal and neonatal outcome. Should cardiopulmonary arrest occur as a function of the disease process or management, then perimortem cesarean delivery initiated within 4 minutes of maternal cardiac arrest is associated with the highest rates of maternal and neonatal survival.
