The initial admission criteria proposed at the creation of our unit have been broadened to more complex diseases; initially we were an intermediate care unit and a bridge to ICUs, now we are able to manage patients with some classic ICU criteria, in an appropriate environment that includes the possibility of treating them while pregnant and during labor.
En resumen, la creación de la UADO en la institución estudiada, que es también el mayor centro obstétrico de su ciudad, ha permitido manejar a pacientes obstétricas que presentan tanto condiciones médicas extraordinarias como las complicaciones usuales de la patología obstétrica común.
