Near-Miss Incidents in Obstetric Patients Admitted to an Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Center in Eastern India: A Retrospective Cohort Study
AIM: Obstetric patients presenting to the intensive care units (ICU) with or without underlying medical or surgical comorbidities can be a challenge to both the treating obstetrician and the intensivist. They occasionally present with near-miss events which if left untreated, can result in death. OB...

description | AIM: Obstetric patients presenting to the intensive care units (ICU) with or without underlying medical or surgical comorbidities can be a challenge to both the treating obstetrician and the intensivist. They occasionally present with near-miss events which if left untreated, can result in death. OBJECTIVES: To study the prevalence, indications of ICU admissions, near-miss events, and their effect on mortality in obstetric and puerperal patients. MATERIAL & METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the health records of all the obstetric and puerperal patients (pregnant and until 6 weeks postpartum) admitted to our tertiary care hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. Patient demographic characteristics, obstetric, surgical, and medical conditions, acute physiology, and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II scores, organ failures, treatment, ICU and hospital length of stay, and mortality outcomes were studied. RESULTS: A total of 22 obstetric patients were admitted to the ICU during the above study period. Mean age was 28.7 ± 6.24 years, mean gestation was 34.4 ± 6.61 weeks, mean APACHE II score was 12.68 ± 5.67, median ICU length of stay was 5 days, and median duration of hospital length of stay was 10 days. The antepartum risk factors such as severe preeclampsia (27%), antepartum bleeding (14%), and postpartum complications like postpartum haemorrhage (33%), sepsis with multiorgan failure (25%) are the commonest indications that resulted in ICU admission. CONCLUSION: Higher APACHE II scores at the time of ICU admission, prolonged ICU, and hospital length of stay may be associated with high maternal mortality. |
