emergency that occurred in the domains of Admission, Hospitalization,
Labor, Delivery Room, Operating Room and Recovery of the Hospital
General de Zona 53 of the IMSS, during the years 2014 and 2015.
Results: In 2014, were attended 3915 women due to obstetric cause;
of them, 75 cases were of obstetric emergency and 3276 live births. In
2015, were 4390 women with 3842 live births and 80 cases of obstetric
emergency. The main domains where performed the Immediate
Response Team were: Labor, Admission and Recovery.
In 2014, preeclampsia-eclampsia-Hellp ranked first as a cause of obstetric
emergency: 42 cases, also in 2015: 36 cases; followed by obstetric
hemorrhage with 28 and 34 cases, respectively. In 2014, there was a
