AB  - An  endless  number  of  medical,  surgical,  and  obstetrical  complications  may  be  encountered  in  pregnancy  or  the  puerperium.  Those  that  are  more  complex  and  life  threatening  can  be  particularly  challenging,  especially  when  a  multidisciplinary  team  is  necessary  for  optimal  care.  It  is  axiomatic  that  obstetricians  and  other  members  of  the  health-care  team  have  a  working  knowledge  of  the  unique  considerations  for  pregnant  women.  Some  of  those  discussed  in  Chapter  46  include  pregnancy-induced  physiological  changes,  alterations  in  normal  laboratory  values,  and  finally  and  importantly,  consideration  for  the  second  patient—the  fetus.  Because  these  severely  ill  women  are  usually  young  and  in  good  health,  their  prognosis  is  generally  better  than  that  of  many  other  patients  admitted  to  intensive  care  units.
