Management of the critically ill pregnant patient is a relatively uncommon situation, and the usual clinical approach may be altered by the physiologic changes induced by pregnancy, by the relatively uncommon pregnancy-specific conditions, and by perceived limitations on therapy produced by the presence of a fetus. This talk reviews the physiological changes occurring in pregnancy and the potential risks of critical illness to the fetus. Select life-threatening conditions during pregnancy are discussed, including amniotic fluid embolism, sepsis and respiratory failure, with a brief overview of cardiac arrest management in the pregnant patient.
