An interdisciplinary and individualized approach should be implemented with regard to the management of severe COVID-19 in pregnancy. The present study deals with the clinical course of 2 pregnant women who have been diagnosed with this disease and needed admission to an ICU and mechanical respiratory support in Cyprus. The data collection took place in a general ICU of the General Hospital of Nicosia.In certain regions of the world, up to 15% of pregnant women were found to have a positive result on polymerase chain reaction testing for SARS-CoV-2 upon admission for delivery. While pregnant women do not appear to be at substantially higher risk of severe manifestations from COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant adults, the disease has resulted in severe maternal morbidity and mortality in both high- and low-resource settings.
