[Role of mobile intensive care team in reducing maternal mortality in Moscow]

As of now, exit intensive care teams (EICT) are a mobile service of the S. P. Botkin City Clinical Hospital. The main area of their activity is to deliver intensive care to 35 Moscow obstetric hospitals. In 2003-2006, the EICT mates performed 1159 calls, delivered care to 783 puerperas and parturiants, and transferred patients to the specialized intensive care units and research centers of Moscow. Throughout the existence of the exit intensive care center and EICT, none patient died during interhospital transportation. The concentration of these patients at 4 specialized Moscow hospitals could improve a therapeutic process, gain uniqe clinical experience, and reduce mortality by 3-fold (from 45.2 to 14.6%).
