PY - 2022 T2 - Williams Obstetrics, 26e AB - Treatment of the critically ill pregnant woman has improved over the past three decades with advances in intensive care capabilities. To achieve optimal outcomes, severe medical, surgical, and obstetrical disorders complicating pregnancy are frequently managed by a multidisciplinary team. Importantly, obstetricians and these other health-care team members must have a working knowledge of the unique considerations for pregnancy (Padilla, 2021). Some discussed in Chapter 49 include pregnancy-induced physiological changes, alterations in normal laboratory values, and consideration for the second patient—the fetus. Because critically ill women are usually young and healthy, their prognosis is generally good (Gaffney, 2014).
