Abstract

Pregnant women are potentially more susceptible to respiratory tract infections making them a high-risk group. We describe the successful management of a 35-year-old pregnant woman, G3, P1, with a history of a cesarean section who tested positive for COVID-19 at 26 weeks and required critical care support.

Keywords: COVID‐19; SARS‐CoV‐2; critical care; intubation; pregnancy.
