Abstract

To verify maternal outcomes in the intensive care unit of a public maternity hospital. Method: This is a documentary, descriptive, and retrospective research with a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out at the Balbina Mestrinho Maternity Hospital, part of the state health network in the south zone of Manaus. The sample consisted of 123 medical records of women admitted to the intensive care unit from January 2020 to January 2021, with the inclusion criterion being pregnant women aged 18 or over and the exclusion criterion being indigenous, due to the great difficulty in obtaining approval from FUNAI. The project complied with CONEP Resolution 466 of 2012 and was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Amazonas under CAAE: 60861422.6.0000.5016 of opinion 5,540,058. Results: The mean age of the participants was 28 years; most had completed 9 years of schooling and were from Manaus. The participants had 3 or more pregnancies and 6-7 prenatal consultations. The mean length of stay in the ICU was 5 days and the obstetric causes that led them to this sector were concentrated in hypertensive syndromes. Regarding the outcomes, the highest incidence was transfer to another sector - rooming-in. Conclusion: Based on the results obtained together with the scientific evidence, it is believed that changes in the care provided to pregnant women during the gestational period should be intensified so that maternal outcomes are favorable, generating safety and confidence in care from the perspective of labor and birth.
