Summary

Respiratory failure is an uncommon complication of pregnancy, affecting only 0.1% of pregnant women; however, it is one of the main indications for intensive care unit (ICU) admission of pregnant and peri-partum women. Pregnancy is a unique physiologic state in women’s lives, and physicians should be familiar with it. Given the low incidence of respiratory failure during pregnancy, there is limited scientific evidence about the best strategies for this population.
