Overview
What you will study
Care of the critically ill obstetric patient is complex, and the incidence of this patient group is increasing, with a recent study identifying that 10% of pregnant women needed level 3 critical care during the first wave of COVID-19, and the UK NHS identifying 20% of Critical Care COVID-19 admissions as unvaccinated pregnant women (October 2021). This Care of the critically ill obstetric patient course offered by Cardiff University will discuss that.
