- Abstract
Most women experience few significant complications during pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period. The few who become critically ill during this time should receive the same standard of critical care as non- pregnant patients. Recent Confidential Enquiries into maternal mortality highlight a number of deaths in which prior care was considered suboptimal. There is a growing need to address the area of maternal critical care with respect to the best ways of delivering care to this vulnerable patient group.
