However, for every maternal death there are at least 70 women who develop severe maternal morbidity, and this rate is rising with increasing body mass index, maternal age, and pre-existing disease. The commonest ‘direct’ cause of death because of pregnancy is thrombosis, and ‘indirect’ cause from a pre-existing problem is cardiovascular disease. The confidential mortality reports and recommendations on mortality MBRRACE-UK have resulted in major improvements in common obstetric problems such as venous thromboebolism, pre-eclampsia, and haemorrhage. Nowadays focus is also directed to examining causes of and improving management of morbidity (as opposed to mortality), often from other disorders such as infection, cardiac, and respiratory disease, resulting in the need for critical care. This chapter discusses maternal critical care, enhanced maternity care, and includes discussion on common conditions causing illness in pregnancy, obstetric emergencies, and reviews and guidelines. There are sections on venous thromboembolism, pre-eclampsia, massive obstetric haemorrhage, obstetric sepsis, cardiac disease, neurological emergencies, liver failure, diabetic emergencies, amniotic fluid embolism, and complications of anaesthesia.","PeriodicalId":406870,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Desk Reference: Critical Care","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126566080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to provide a summary of the extensive complex abdominal pathologies that can present to an intensive care clinician. Where appropriate, descriptions are provided on clinical presentation, epidemiology, diagnosis (including investigations), and management. Of note, the conditions covered can arise on the ward environment with subsequent requirement for intensive care, but they can also arise de novo on the intensive care unit itself, highlighting the need for intensive care clinicians to maintain a broad knowledge and understanding of their presentation and management.","PeriodicalId":406870,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Desk Reference: Critical Care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125707183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
