and the occurrence of
exacerbations were obtained on
each monthly study visit. The
incidence of 1 or more asthma
hospitalizations, unscheduled visits,
or oral corticosteroid courses, as
well as the proportion of patients
with any exacerbation or
symptoms during labor and
delivery were analyzed as a
function of asthma severity
classification. Proportions were
compared between severity groups
by means of the Fisher exact test.

CONCLUSION:: The National Asthma
Education Program Working Group on
Asthma and Pregnancy classification of
asthma severity, adapted to include
medication use, predicts subsequent asthma
morbidity during pregnancy
Following the advances in science and
technology and the recommendations of the
confidential enquiry into maternal deaths the
initiative was taken to set up critical care
(HDU) within a maternity unit of the Chelsea
and Westminster Hospital. This article
describes high risk conditions for admission,
a definition and aim of the HDU/maternity
recovery, the constitution of the team,
staffing and training issues, necessary
equipment, guidelines and protocols.
Maternal mortality and morbidity in the UK
in relation to critical care, and a the patient’s
view on maternal morbidity are discussed as
well.
OBJECTIVE: a six-year retrospective study
to determine the pattern of admission and
outcome for obstetric patients admitted to
the intensive care unit of the University of
Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu.
RESULTS: A total of 816 patients were
admitted to the intensive care unit during the
period under review. Eighteen (2.2%) were
