NCT02902172

Brief Summary

Women who have the diagnosis of hypertension (pre-pregnancy and pregnancy induced) and deliver an infant via vaginal delivery will be placed into two groups in the postpartum period. One group will receive Ibuprofen for pain control and the other group will be given Tylenol. Blood pressures during the postpartum period will then be collected and compared in order to see if NSAIDs use increases blood pressure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Mean Systolic Blood Pressure From Postpartum Day 1 Versus Postpartum Day 2.

    To determine if NSAIDS in the postpartum period raise blood pressure in women with a hypertensive disorder. The mean increase and standard deviation of each group (acetaminophen and NSAID/Ibupforen) was calculated when compairing systolic blood pressures from the first postpartum day to the second postpartum day. Day 1 is the mean of systolic blood pressures from 0 hours to 23 hours after delivery, and Day 2 is the mean of systolic blood pressures from 24 hours to 47 hours after delivery.

    2 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure From Postpartum Day 1 Versus Postpartum Day 2.

    2 days

Study Arms (2)

Acetaminophen

OTHER

Patients will be monitored for change in blood pressure

Drug: Acetaminophen

NSAID

OTHER

Patients will be monitored during their postpartum stay (typical 2 days) and then again at 1 week and 6 weeks (standard practice of care) with blood pressure measurements

Drug: NSAID
