Critical Care Obstetrics and Gynecology

Newborn Renascence: A fetal interface that can aect to lies at once

Pregnancy is a normal physiologic process that can result in pathologic conditions. Pregnancy has various distinct characteristics, including a utero-placental interface, physiologic stress that can lead to pathologic conditions, and a maternal foetal interface that can effect two lives at the same time or separately. Pregnant women may develop critical illness as a result of deteriorating preexisting disorders, diseases that occur concurrently with pregnancy, or pregnancy-specific ailments. Successful maternal and neonatal outcomes for parturients admitted to a maternal critical care facility rely heavily on multidisciplinary input from critical care physicians, obstetric anaesthesiologists, obstetricians, obstetric physicians, foetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, and other concerned specialists to the medical or surgical condition.
