Need of ICU in Obstetrical Complications

Abstract

To elaborate on the role of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Obstetric patients, their clinical properties, interventions, and the research results. Study Design: A Case-control study is performed to get the medical history of obstetric patients admitted to Hospital from 2018 to 2021. Location of Study: Aziz Bhatti Shaheed hospital, Gujrat, Pakistan. Results: From the patients admitted to Hospital, 87% out of 195 were kept on Ventilator. At the postnatal stage, there were no significant death rates were observed. Most of the admitted patients were 34-year-old, maximally survive for 53 days and minimally for one day only. Out of the total population admitted to hospital, 61% are with organ failure. The significant death rate of those patients is ~26%. Patients with gastrointestinal complications have the highest death rate. Haematological affected patients have a large number ~29%.  Conclusion: In case of haemorrhage, hypertensive, sepsis, and infectious disorders, primary screening of patients is required before there is a need for ICU. The outcome of high-risk pregnant women is improved by increasing their alertness and stabilizing their condition before intervention is offered. Maternal morbidity could be reduced by improving the quality of care provided before and after being admitted to the ICU.
