Abstract

The management of obstetric emergencies is a challenge and in most hospital setting the management in intensive care is ill-defined. A multidisciplinary approach to the management of obstetric emergency helps to give favorable outcome. In low resource setting, maternal care can be challenging as it faces lack of infrastructure facilities, specialist trained in intensive care, availability of drugs and equipment. Though early intervention is the need of hour there are delays in seeking healthcare due to lack of awareness, financial constraints, culture and beliefs. This article describes the approach to management of PPH in intensive care, defining clear transition from labor care to intensive care should occur.
