Possibilities of using hardware monitoring of blood pressure in obstetric practice

BACKGROUND: When managing pregnancy, it is important to monitor blood pressure, which can change during the day for various reasons. To justify the prescription of drug therapy and determine the tactics of managing pregnancy, it is important to obtain objective data on changes in blood pressure. PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE: to summarize the literature on the use of hardware monitoring of blood pressure in obstetric practice The review is based on an analysis of publications obtained as a result of a selective search in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and RINTS databases. RESULTS. The article shows that the use of hardware (daily) monitoring of arterial pressure in pregnant women in obstetric practice allows obtaining accurate and reliable data on the dynamics of changes in arterial pressure, forming a prognosis for the development and course of preeclampsia, and preventing the unjustified use of antihypertensive drugs. At the same time, it is necessary to continue scientific and practical research on the use of hardware monitoring of arterial pressure in the direction of economic justification of the use of this study in obstetric practice, development of preventive treatment of arterial hypertension in pregnant women, as well as the creation of devices that are most convenient for patients.
