Description
Summary:Obstetric hemorrhage is considered to be the most potential preventive factor related to maternal mortality. Despite adequate management of this pathology, 3% of patients with vaginal or cesarean deliveries will end in severe postpartum hemorrhage and therefore hemodynamic instability. Maternal mortality is unacceptably high. Every day around 830 women die worldwide from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. In 2015, an estimated 303 000 women died during or after pregnancy and childbirth. Virtually all of these deaths occur in low-income countries. The problem is greater in Ecuador, anemia coexists with other conditions that worsen their condition such as malnutrition, high fertility rates, adolescent childbearing, high maternal mortality rates, fetal losses, low birth weight, premature births and perinatal deaths. During the present investigation, the hematological biometric results of 238 postpartum female patients who were treated at the Saraguro basic hospital during 2021 were examined. Of the value described above, a total of 110 patients presented a type of postpartum anemia either of natural or assisted way; It is for this reason that adequate management with strict monitoring both during and after pregnancy is imperative when reducing the mortality rate associated with anemia. The general objective was to determine the prevalence of postpartum and post-cesarean anemia in patients at the Saraguro basic hospital, and specifically: Identify the degree and frequency of anemia in postpartum and post-cesarean patients. Investigate the cause and/or origin of the bleeding that develops anemia and, Determine the treatment and control measures used in these patients. The method used to obtain the data necessary for this work was through a collection tool, tables and percentages were used for tabulation. The main axis of the research was based on the study of medical records applying inclusion and exclusion criteria that served to delimit the range of the sample with a retrospective and cross-sectional objective.
