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).
