Acute Respiratory Decompensation Requiring Intubation in Pregnant Women with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)	2020-06-04		.txt	text/plain	2205	134	50	Data from China suggest that pregnant women with COVID-19 have favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes, with rare cases of critical illness or respiratory compromise. However, we report two cases of pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 in the late preterm period admitted to tertiary care hospitals in New York City for respiratory indications. 8 We report here two pregnant women with no medical comorbidities, one under 18 years of age, diagnosed with COVID-19 at 34 and 36 weeks of gestation, respectively, who rapidly decompensated and underwent caesarean delivery under general anesthesia followed by prolonged mechanical ventilation. The risks and benefits of delivery in pregnant patients with critical respiratory illness from COVID-19 infections are not yet known, but prior experience with maternal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and viral 2009/H1N1 influenza requiring mechanical ventilation in pregnancy reveals increased risk of fetal HR abnormalities, as well as fetal and neonatal mortality.	./cache/cord-260365-neili1bd.txt	./txt/cord-260365-neili1bd.txt
