The aim: Diagnosis of bronchopulmonary pathology in the intensive care unit in patients with obstetric and gynaecological diseases and to implement aspects of the BLUEprotocol in an intensive care unit for pregnant women with lung diseases.Materials and methods: The study involved pregnant women admitted to the intensive care unit at the city centre for reproductive medicine. To study the bronchopulmonarysystem, an Aloka 3500 ultrasound scanner was used, a chest X-ray was performed, spirometry study of the function of external respiration.Results: Identified radiological changes in the lungs that were confirmed by ultrasound. Data on changes in external respiration indices showed the presence of respiratoryfailure by restrictive type and was not accompanied by a change in the gas composition of the blood (SpO2 and EtCO2).Conclusions: technique for ultrasound examination of the bronchi-pulmonary system in pregnant women was developed and introduced in the intensive care unit. Ultrasoundprofiles of lung diseases were identified, which allow determining the intra and extrapulmonary changes in pregnant women in the early stages of pathology.
