Abstract

Background Pregnancy can lead to major maternal morbidity with consequences requiring utilization of facilities of Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The aim ofthis study was to determine the indication for admission, intervention and outcome of obstetric patients admitted to intensive care unit at BPS Medical College Teaching Hospital and also to identify risk factors for admission to intensive obstetric care unit. Methods A hospital based descriptive observational study was conducted from 1 st July 2014 to 31 st July 2015. All obstetric admissions to the ICU up to 42 days postpartum were included. Data obtained included demography, obstetric history, pre- existing medical problems, indication for ICU admission, intervention in ICU and outcome. Results The total numbers of deliveries during this period were 4365. Study population consisted of 56 obstetric cases admitted in ICU. The most common obstetric cause for icu admission in our series was hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (n=24, 42.8 %) followed by hemorrhage.17 cases of mortality were reported. Conclusion Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and obstetrichaemorrhage were the most common indications of ICU admissions in our study. Risk factors for admission included lesser gestational age, caesarean section, blood loss, and co- morbid conditions of the patients. A multidisciplinary team approach is necessary to achieve a safe mother outcome.
