    Abstract:
    Caring for a critically ill obstetric patient requires a thorough understanding of both the pathophysiology of the disease and the physiologic changes that accompany pregnancy and childbirth. This article addresses the care of an intrapartum patient in an intensive care unit. Physiologic aspects of the labor and delivery process are reviewed with emphasis on nursing assessments and interventions. Additionally, techniques for delivery of the neonate are presented.
