Comparison of the use of shock index and modified early obstetric warning score in COVID-19 obstetric emergency patients as ICU care parameters

Abstract

The physiological parameters included in the Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score (MEOWS) table have been selectively selected so that they cover all the standard observations in the NEWS table with the addition of several parameters that are specifically. The population in this study were all pregnant women who were in RSIA Siti Khadijah I Makassar and RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the shock index and the incidence of shock (p=0.418). The difference in frequency between the shock index and the incidence of shock in the ICU was 1 patient who was pregnant. Based on shock index with high and low categories did not differ significantly (p=0.418). The data also shows that the frequency of pregnant women who are in shock is higher, namely 44 people (57.9%) compared to those who are not in shock, namely 32 people (42.1%). There was no significant difference between the shock index and the incidence of shock (p=0.112). The difference in frequency between the shock index and the incidence of shock in the ICU was 5 patients with pregnant women. Shock frequency based on the MEOWS index was not significantly different (p=0.112).
