Prevalence of obstetric hemorrhage in a five-year period in a tertiary hospital
Abstract
While it is true that there is no universal established definition for the concept of “obstetric hemorrhage” it is also true that its presentation as a complication constitutes a major public health challenge. This study was carried out from 2018 to 2022, at the “Mónica Pretelini Sáenz” Maternal Perinatal Hospital (HMPMPS). 27,381 patients were analysed, of which 4,402 presented obstetric hemorrhage: 62% were resolved by cesarean section. About the causes, most of the cases were due to “Tone” and 5% were consequence of coagulopathies. At the HMPMPS, 16% of the patients presented obstetric hemorrhage, which places us below the average in Latin America.
