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 />
