ABSTRACT
Introduction: Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the feared complications and it is one of the main causes of maternal mortality.Objective: To characterize obstetric hemorrhage in the service of Anesthesiology and Reanimation at Dr. Agostinho Neto Hospital in Guantanamo, Cuba from 2015 to 2017.
Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out in the aforementioned health service from 2015 to 2017. Three hundred eighty-eight (388) patients that had diagnostic of extremely serious maternal morbidity were the universe of this study. The sample was constituted by those diagnosed with obstetric hemorrhage (n= 71). Percentage, mean and standard deviation were used for the statistical analysis.
Results: Obstetric hemorrhage occurred in 18.2 % of the patients. 0.7 % died. The mean age was of 24.2 ± 6.2 years; the pregnancies age was of 34.2 ± 6.2 years and hospital stay was of 5.9 ± 4.2 [IC 95 percentage 5.3 - 6.5]. Uterine atony (50.8 %) was the most common cause of the hemorrhage. 91.5 % of the patients had hemodynamic unsteadiness that conditioned the use of high volumes of fluids and hemoderivates for reanimation. Clotting intravascular was the main cause of death.
Conclusions: Obstetric hemorrhage constitutes an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the mentioned health service.
