Principales complicaciones durante la tercera etapa del trabajo de parto en gestantes de 24 a 35 años en el Hospital Dr. Liborio Panchana Sotomayor durante el periodo enero - junio 2024.

The third stage of labor, which spans from the birth of the fetus to the expulsion of the placenta, is a critical period that can present significant complications for both the mother and the newborn. The objective of this research was to establish the main complications during the third stage of labor in pregnant women aged 24 to 35 years at Hospital Dr. Liborio Panchana Sotomayor during the period January – June 2024. A quantitative method was used, and the study population consisted of 184 pregnant women, from which a representative sample of 124 patients was selected using the finite population formula. Data were obtained through the review of medical records and hospital statistical records. The results revealed that the most frequent complications were perineal tear 8.1%, postpartum hemorrhage 20.2%, retained placenta 6.5%, uterine atony 10.5%, and uterine inversion 3.2%. Significant risk factors identified included advanced maternal age, prolonged labor, and the use of oxytocin, all of which increased the likelihood of complications. In conclusion, complications during the third stage of labor have a considerable prevalence in this population, highlighting the need for effective and personalized clinical interventions to prevent and manage these risks, thereby improving maternal and perinatal outcomes.
