Sumario:OBJECTIVE: The pandemic Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health crisis. Many maternity units worldwide are currently establishing the management protocols for these patients. CASE REPORT: We report the first critically ill pregnant woman with COVID-19-induced respiratory failure undergoing emergent caesarean delivery at 32 weeks of gestation, in the setting of a positive pressure operating room (OR) with negative pressure anteroom in Taiwan. CONCLUSION: Multidisciplinary planning and collaboration are necessary to achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes in pregnancies with critical COVID-19 pneumonia. The combinations of comprehensive evaluation, timely treatment as well as establishment of rigorous protocol and safe environment for the emergent delivery are important.
