Due to the high risk of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women with unrecognised and untreated preeclampsia, a high index of suspicion for signs of preeclampsia should be used to evaluate, treat and monitor patients. Early blood pressure control and seizure prophylaxis during labour are essential to ensure maternal safety. However, a limited proportion of pregnancies and deliveries may present a wide range of complications that may require admission to a critical care unit (CCU). Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and massive hemorrhage are among the most common causes of admission to the CCU in pregnant and post-partum women.
