title: [Intensive care in obstetrics and gynecology. Indications for transfer to the intensive care unit].
abstract: Between the years of 1969 and 1974, 68 patients were transferred from our Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology to the Intensive Care Unit. This figure represents 0,5% of all operative cases. 50% were high risk patients, previously under the care of our physicians. 11,8% occurred because of problems arising from latent diseases not previously diagnosed. The main reasons for transfer were septic shock, coagulopathy arising from abruptio placenta, placenta praevia, embolism and pneumonia. Interdepartmental cooperation is indispensable for correct diagnosis and a timely transfer.
