Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count syndrome: nursing care of the critically ill obstetric patient.

Abstract
Although patients with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia are infrequently admitted to critical care areas, it is important that the critical care nurse be aware of the HELLP syndrome. The case presentations demonstrated hemolysis, liver dysfunction, and abnormal platelet consumption. Knowledge of the clinical and laboratory findings will assist in nursing assessment and intervention for these critically ill obstetric patients.
