Objective: To describe the incidence, clinical profile and evolution of obstetric patients admitted to the Intensive Care Center of the Central Hospital of the Armed Forces. Material and methods: A retrospective descriptive study of obstetric patients admitted to the center from December 2004 to March 2014 was carried out. Data source: medical records. Population 70 patients. Age, adequate prenatal control, diagnosis at admission, time from admission to transfer to the Unit and stay at the Center were evaluated. Results: The ages of the patients admitted to Intensive Care are between 15 and 41 years old. The most frequent causes of admission were severe pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and uterine atony. The delay time from the onset of symptoms to admission to the Center is 2.5 days, and the length of stay is 2.2 days. Severe pre-eclampsia is the most frequent reason for admission, 68%. Conclusions: Most of the patients are between 15 and 24 years old. Severe pre-eclampsia is the most frequent reason for admission. Eight patients presented complications in intensive care, and their stay was short. Maternal mortality is 3% and fetal mortality 19%.
