Critical Care Obstetrics T2 CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Obstetrics & Gynecology, 11e YR 2013 FD 2013 PB The McGraw-Hill Companies PP New York, NY SN 978-0-07-163856-2 LK obgyn.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=56968155 RD 2024/03/29 AB Critical care medicine has increasingly become an area of interest to the obstetrician–gynecologist. Pregnancy complications such as shock, thromboembolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and coagulation disorders can lead to significant morbidity. Furthermore, the approach to these patients can be influenced by a variety of physiologic changes that are unique to pregnancy. This chapter provides a basic approach to some of the common clinical problems that often require complex multidisciplinary care and knowledge of invasive hemodynamic monitoring.
