ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hypertensive disease is the most common medical complication during pregnancy, affecting 10 to 20% of all pregnancies and 5 to 14% of worldwide pregnancies are complicated because of pre-eclampsia.
Objective: The high incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in Cardenas intensive care unit and the absence of current epidemiological studies were the reasons to evaluate their incidence, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011, and recommend actions focused to decrease the obstetric patient morbidity.
Method: The observational, descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in a universe of 80 patients that represent the totality of pregnant patients diagnosed with hypertensive disease, during admission (or during their stay) in the intensive care unit.
Results: In 2010 these patients represented the 53.75% of the patients studied. Gestational youth age and null parity were the most prevalent risk factors. Within the clinical entities associated with pregnancy, chronic arterial hypertension and pre-eclampsia/eclampsia were the most prevalent.
Conclusions: Type I Eclampsia was frequent and prolonged mechanical ventilation the most reiterative complication.
