ABSTRACT
Critically ill pregnant patients require advanced critical care support, but access to these services is variable. We surveyed active Ontario obstetric facilities regarding critical care access. Responses were received from 44 of 80 obstetric units (55%), 13 (30%) being rural. Transport to another facility was required by 59% (majority >1 hour transport time), and differences were noted in the availability of specialty support services such as anesthesia and internal/obstetric medicine, as well as radiology and laboratory facilities, and use of massive transfusion protocols. Training in early supportive care of obstetric complications and optimized facility transport are areas for potential improvement.
