Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Sometimes complications arise during pregnancy or in the postpartum period warranting intensive care which leads to ICU admission of such patients. This was a prospective study carried out to determine the profile of maternal admissions to intensive care unit and requirement of referral to a tertiary care hospital along with maternal outcomes. The percentage of ICU admission of obstetric patients was 0.65% of total deliveries. Total mortality was 20.68%. Multi-step interventions are needed to reduce mortality of ICU admitted obstetric patients.
