“…The other major conditions were severe anemia (14.37 %), heart disease (12.15 %), and sepsis (7.97 %). Some studies report hypertensive disorders as the commonest condition [2,4,9,10,16]. Some studies report obstetric hemorrhage as the commonest condition [5,7,14,22].…”

“…For hypertensive disorders, the range is 7-73.6 % from 24 studies , and the mean is 34.85 %. For obstetric hemorrhage, the range is 11-62.5 %, and the mean is 27.90 % from 23 studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…The percentage of obstetric population requiring admission to the ICU is different in different countries based on the socioeconomic status, criteria for ICU admission, availability of ICU beds, and availability of a high dependency unit. It ranges from 0.08 to 0.76 % of deliveries in developed countries [3][4][5][6][7] and 0.13 to 4.6 % in developing countries [1,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The mortality in these patients is high and ranges from 0 to 4.9 % of ICU admissions in developed [4][5][6][7] and 2-43.63 % in developing countries [8-11, 13, 15, 16].…”

About the Author AbstractPurpose To analyze obstetric admissions to intensive care unit and to identify the risk factors responsible for intensive care admission. Methods This is a retrospective study of all obstetric cases admitted to the intensive care unit over a period of 3 years. Data were collected from case records. The risk factors responsible for ICU admission were analyzed. Results There were 765 obstetric admissions to ICU accounting for 1.24 % of all deliveries. 56.20 % were in the age group of 20-25 years. 38.43 % were in their first pregnancy. 36.48 % of cases were at 37-40 weeks of gestation. Postpartum admissions were 80.91 %. Major conditions responsible were obstetric hemorrhage in 44.05 %, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in 28.88 %, severe anemia in 14.37 %, heart disease in 12.15 %, and sepsis in 7.97 % of ICU cases. 40.39 % cases required high dependency care. Maternal mortality was seen in 15.55 % of ICU cases. Commonest cause of mortality was hemorrhagic shock (26.89 %) and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (26.05 %). Conclusion Commonest risk factors for ICU admissions are obstetric hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Other major risk factors are severe anemia, heart disease, sepsis, more than one diagnosis on admission, and the need for cesarean delivery.

“…As pacientes acometidas podem evoluir, em casos mais graves, para episódios de eclâmpsia, edema agudo de pulmão, síndrome HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes e Low Platelet), AVC (acidente vascular cerebral) e oligúria (com possível evolução para insuficiência renal). Por esse motivo, a pré-eclâmpsia é uma das causas mais importantes de internação em unidades de terapia intensiva obstétrica [4][5][6] . A falta de assistência nas pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia ou a sua evolução desfavorável pode levar ao óbito, o que faz dessa doença a maior responsável pela mortalidade materna nos países da América Latina e Caribe, incluindo o Brasil 7 .…”
