BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy complicate about 10% of pregnancies and are a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate a program to provide a home blood pressure monitor to all postpartum patients who had a hypertensive diagnosis and elevated blood pressure.
METHODS: The program includes a blood pressure monitor, instructions for its use, education about hypertension, and a guidance grid with standardized blood pressure parameters reviewed prior to discharge from the hospital. Patients are taught about potential adverse outcomes during postpartum. Patients are instructed to follow-up with their care provider based on the parameters. A retrospective medical record review was used to evaluate clinical outcomes.
RESULTS: Medical records of 185 patients indicated that 20% ( n = 36) who received the home BP monitor reported one or more mild-to-severe range blood pressure(s) during postpartum. Twenty-eight percent ( n = 52) had outpatient medication adjustments, including decreasing, increasing, starting, and discontinuing medications. Nine percent ( n = 17) of patients returned to the obstetric triage for evaluation. There was patient overlap between those experiencing elevated blood pressures, medication adjustments, and those who returned to hospital for evaluation.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Ongoing monitoring may improve identification and management of postpartum hypertension and potentially prevent progression to hypertensive-related adverse events.
