SCCM Resource Library-COVID-19 and Pregnancy, Management Considerations

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video transcript discusses the care of critically ill pregnant COVID-19 patients. Pregnancy worsens the clinical course of COVID-19 compared to non-pregnant individuals, but the majority of infected pregnant women recover without hospitalization. However, once pneumonia sets in, pregnant women are at a higher risk of preterm delivery. A recent review of pregnant patients with COVID-19 found that a small percentage required intensive care, invasive ventilation, and ECMO, with a mortality rate of 0.6%. Pregnant women with COVID-19 should be closely monitored and managed with high flow nasal cannula, noninvasive ventilation, and sedation. Anticoagulation, fetal monitoring, and delivery timing should also be considered. Breastfeeding is encouraged, taking necessary precautions.
