title: [Severe injury in the obstetric patient: considerations for anesthesiologist and critical care specialist].
abstract: In spite of the high incidence of moderately severe or severe injury in obstetric patients, the anesthesiology literature contains few references to their diagnosis and treatment. We review the epidemiology, etiology, treatment, and prognosis of severe or moderately severe injuries in obstetric patients.
