[Influence of hypertension in the 2nd half of pregnancy on the fate of the fetus and newborn infant with reference to mean pressure using Wezler-Böger's method].

It is demonstrated retrospective calculation of mean arterial pressure (method of Wezler-Böger) in 1086 cases of hypertensive toxemia in pregnancy from the year 1966 to 1972 of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology University Rostock and Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Country Hospital Rostock. The grading of the values of mean arterial pressue in 3 groups shows an increasing of fetal retardation and increasing of perinatal mortality due to increasing of mean arterial pressue. This procedure allows a more different prognostic prediction of fetal outcome, than the separate systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements.
