Methods: A retrospective case series study and analysis of data from obstetric patients admitted for critical care management. Results: A total of 102 (1.6%) of patients among admitted to the hospital required ICU admissions. Among them 14% of patients were admitted to ICU for ventilator support. Pre-eclampsia and obstetrical hemorrhage were the common diagnosis and 9.8% of maternal deaths were seen in this group.
