  • Title: Invasive hemodynamic monitoring in pregnancy.
    Author: Martin JM.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 1992 Dec; 4(4):653-7. PubMed ID: 1288588.
    Abstract:
    When the pregnant woman develops an acute or critical illness requiring invasive hemodynamic monitoring, it is imperative to consider physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy that impact on assessment parameters. Awareness of both the alterations in these parameters and the changes in arterial blood gas values guide nursing care that continues to support perfusion and oxygenation needs unique to pregnancy. When critical care capabilities are not available in the labor and delivery unit, the obstetric patient is most often transferred to a medical or surgical intensive care unit. In such cases, consultation with obstetric staff is warranted.
