MANEJO MULTIPROFISSIONAL DE PACIENTES OBSTÉTRICAS NA UNIDADE DE TERAPIA INTENSIVA

Abstract

Multidisciplinary management in the obstetric ICU involves coordination between different areas of expertise to make informed and consensual decisions. Intensive care teams often face the need to integrate technical knowledge and practical experience to optimize treatment. This study is an integrative literature review, carried out according to the following steps: 1) elaboration of the research question; 2) bibliographic survey; 3) data evaluation; 4) data analysis – division, presentation and comparison; 5) presentation of results. A survey was conducted through the electronic library through the Virtual Health Library (VHL), and the following databases were selected: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences and Database in Nursing. Therefore, the descriptors consulted in the Descriptors in Science and Health were used, namely: “Intensive Care Unit” and “Pregnant”, using the Boolean operator AND between the descriptors when combined. They received a quantitative assessment: BDENF (14) and LILACS (48). The decrease in maternal and neonatal mortality can be attributed to early intervention and continuous monitoring provided by the multidisciplinary team. The presence of specialists in different areas allows a more holistic and agile approach to the management of complications, resulting in more informed and effective clinical decisions. The reduction in the length of stay in the ICU suggests that multidisciplinary management not only improves the quality of care, but also contributes to a faster recovery of patients, reflecting an efficient management of available resources. Multidisciplinary management of obstetric patients in intensive care units has been shown to be a highly effective approach to improve clinical and operational outcomes. The integration of specialized knowledge and coordination between different medical disciplines are essential for the adequate treatment of critical conditions that affect pregnant women in highly complex situations.
