A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 100 critically ill pregnant women admitted to our hospital's obstetrics ICU between January 2023 and December 2024. Participants were allocated via random number table to either the control group receiving conventional multidisciplinary resuscitation care (n=50) or the observation group receiving the structured team model with shared decision-making (n=50). Comparative outcomes included resuscitation efficiency indicators (pre-hospital response time, intrahospital transport duration, emergency supply preparation time), complication rates, family psychological status measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and family satisfaction assessments

Structured team model based on shared decision-making model: ① Maternal Critical Care Review: Pre-hospital (prenatal checkup): Obstetricians and nurses conduct regular prenatal checkups for mothers, identify high-risk mothers, and set up high-risk maternal health records. Referral: Critically ill pregnant women establish a green channel for timely referral to the obstetrics department or ICU, and contact the relevant personnel of the structured management team. Assessment: The multidisciplinary team conducts a comprehensive assessment of the extent of the maternal condition, vital signs, and laboratory test results. Identification: Identify the main causes of critical maternal illness and potential risks, such as hemorrhage, infection, and organ failure. Rescue plan: according to the assessment results, formulate a personalized rescue plan and clarify the responsibilities and tasks of each department. Monitoring: real-time monitoring of maternal vital signs and changes in condition, a
The observation group implemented a structured team model based on a shared decision-making model, which operated as follows: (1) Constructing a structured management team: multidisciplinary medical and nursing staff, including obstetricians, ICU doctors, obstetric nurses, ICU nurses, head nurses, anesthesiologists, ultrasonographers, and family members of the patient's main companions, are divided into small teams according to their functions, and each small team has a team leader who is responsible for the coordination of the overall situation and the rapid coordination of information. Obstetricians and ICU doctors are responsible for life support, obstetric evaluation, condition monitoring and development of resuscitation plan for critically ill mothers. Anesthesiologists are responsible for anesthesia management, pain control and intraoperative resuscitation support. The nurse manager coordinates the nursing team to ensure the standardization of rescue care. Obstetrician and ICU nu

family psychological status measured
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used for evaluation, which consists of two subscales, including anxiety and depression, each with 7 items. The scale is scored on a 4-point scale, and the total score is 0-21. The higher the score, the more serious the anxiety or depression.
Time frame: 28 days postpartum
Satisfaction of family members
The Chinese version of critical care family satisfaction survey (CCFSS) was used for evaluation. The scale consisted of 5 dimensions and 20 items, including disease assurance, access to information, acceptance, support, and comfort. There were 4, 5, 3, 6, and 2 items in sequence, and a 5-point scale was used. The total score ranged from 20 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher family satisfaction.
