Description
Filipa Ramalho Rocha and co-authors review 15 years of intensive care admissions for pregnancy and childbirth at one Portuguese hospital. Such admissions offer a window on the most severe complications of maternity care. The team found 150 cases, about 4.4 per thousand deliveries, with an average age of 34 and nearly half the women over 35.
Most patients arrived just after delivery, and three quarters had given birth by cesarean section. Bleeding after birth and blood-pressure disorders of pregnancy were the leading reasons for admission, and deaths were rare at 1.3 percent. Nearly half the newborns needed intensive care themselves. The authors argue the cases demand specially trained mixed teams and a fresh look at delivery practice.
