Population

205 critically ill obstetric patients admitted to a general critical care unit (CCU) of a government teaching hospital over a 5-year period

Outcome

CCU admission rate, primary diagnosis, indications for admission, need for invasive ventilation, mortality rate, and length of stay

In a public teaching hospital in Eastern India, critically ill obstetric patients had a high mortality rate (33.66%) and frequently required invasive ventilation, highlighting the need for dedicated obstetric high dependency units.

Dasgupta et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Critically ill obstetric patients (n=205). Critical care management was evaluated on CCU admission rate, primary diagnosis, and mortality rate. Among 205 critically ill obstetric patients, obstetric hemorrhage (34.64%) was the most common primary diagnosis, and the overall obstetric mortality rate was 33.66%.
