Retrospective review betwe<strong>en</strong> June<br />

postal survey of all units in the UK<br />

Retrospective<br />
nationwide health<br />
care survey of all<br />
UK units providing<br />
obstetric recovery<br />
facilities, high<br />
dep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>cy and<br />
int<strong>en</strong>sive care<br />
reason for admission to the ICU of critically<br />
ill obstetric pati<strong>en</strong>ts was respiratory failure.<br />
Despite the severity of illness and the<br />
developm<strong>en</strong>t of SIRS and organ failure in<br />
most pati<strong>en</strong>ts, the mortality rate was low.<br />
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to<br />
review a series of critically ill pati<strong>en</strong>ts<br />
admitted to a high-dep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>cy unit(HDU)in<br />
a regional obstetric c<strong>en</strong>tre, to assess the<br />
HDU utilisation rate and to determine the<br />
indications for and rate of transfer to an<br />
int<strong>en</strong>sive care unit (ICU) in a tertiary referral<br />
c<strong>en</strong>tre of was performed. RESULTS: One<br />
hundred and tw<strong>en</strong>ty-three pati<strong>en</strong>ts were<br />
admitted to the HDU in the 2 years following<br />
its inception, repres<strong>en</strong>ting 1.02% of all<br />
deliveries. Obstetric complications accounted<br />
for 81.3% of admissions. Sev<strong>en</strong>te<strong>en</strong> pati<strong>en</strong>ts<br />
ere admitted to an ICU during the study<br />
period; 12 (0.08%) were transferred before<br />
and five (0.04%) after the developm<strong>en</strong>t of<br />
HDU facilities (p . 0.25).<br />
CONCLUSIONS: The advantages of a<br />
HDU within this setting include the<br />
concurr<strong>en</strong>t availability of expert obstetric<br />
care and critical care managem<strong>en</strong>t, the<br />
avoidance of the hazards of emerg<strong>en</strong>cy<br />
transport and improved continuity of<br />
ant<strong>en</strong>atal and postnatal care.<br />
OBJECTIVE: Reports on Confid<strong>en</strong>tial<br />
Enquiries into <strong>Maternal</strong> Deaths and the<br />
Obstetric Anaesthesits Association have<br />
made recomm<strong>en</strong>dations about the provision<br />
of staff and facilities in consultant obstetric<br />
units. This survey aimed to assess postoperative<br />
recovery, high dep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>cy and<br />
