GKM ICU- Ensuring Safety for Every High-Risk Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but for some expectant mothers, it comes with added complexities and risks. High-risk pregnancies require specialized care to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and the baby. At GKM Hospital, we recognize the unique needs of high-risk pregnancies and have established specialised Intensive Care Unit (ICU) services to provide comprehensive and specialized care for these patients.
Understanding High-Risk Pregnancies
High-risk pregnancies can be caused by various factors, including pre-existing medical conditions, complications arising during pregnancy, or issues with the baby. Some common conditions that classify a pregnancy as high-risk include:
Chronic conditions: Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.
Pregnancy-related complications: Pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm labour, and placental abnormalities.
Multiple pregnancies: Carrying twins, triplets, or more.
Age factors: Pregnant women under 17 or over 35 years old.
Previous pregnancy complications: History of miscarriages, stillbirths, or preterm deliveries.

The specialized ICU services at GKM Hospital are designed to cater to the unique needs of high-risk pregnancies. This unit is equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by a team of highly skilled healthcare professionals, including obstetricians, neonatologists, anaesthesiologists, and specialized nurses. The key features and services of our ICU include:
