The clinical courses of 5 pregnant women with severe cases of COVID-19 disease, all requiring mechanical ventilation, are described below and summarized in the Table. Case 2 involved a 33-year-old G6P5005 with mild asthma who presented, at 26 weeks of gestation, with worsening fevers and respiratory symptoms for 10 days. She was febrile, tachypneic, and hypoxic (with an O 2 saturation level of 86%) on arrival, had a positive result for SARS-CoV-2 testing, and displayed multifocal pneumonia based on chest imaging. The results of 2 initial SARS-CoV-2 tests were negative, although she remained critically ill and required vasopressor support. At present, limited data are available on critically ill pregnant women with COVID-19, as evidenced by varying management of our 5 cases. ./cache/cord-278702-hacapz8l.txt ./txt/cord-278702-hacapz8l.txt
