Main causes of obstetric risk in the center of health "Roberto Astudillo" of the city of milagro

Abstract

Introduction: An obstetric risk factor is a medical condition, obstetric or sociodemographic that, in a pregnant woman, can cause a increase in morbidity and mortality that has repercussions, as already mentioned, maternal-fetal level with respect to the rest of the population. Objective: The objective essential to assess the obstetric risk is to be able to carry out preventive actions that lead to avoid complications that compromise maternal and fetal life. Materials and Methods: Documentary quantitative research, retrospective of descriptive cross section. The research is quantitative, because it is obtained data which are processed, documentary because it takes the information from clinical history that rests in the statistics area of the health center Robert Astudillo. Result: Within the triggering factors of the high obstetric risk is found in twin pregnancy, and miscarriages controlled; understanding that Hellp Syndrome can be preventable if there is comprehensive control from the first trimester of pregnancy, especially when there is a history of preeclampsia. On the other hand, in habits psychobiological results, a high incidence of coffee consumption, of drugs, alcohol consumption and patients with smoking habits abandoned in the first trimester of pregnancy (toxic habits). But not there is a theory that determines that coffee consumption directly influences on blood pressure, it is known that theophyllines stimulate B1 receptors and B2 bringing this as a consequence a slight increase in the frequency heart rate, and therefore a slight increase in blood pressure. Conclusions: Maintaining a watchful waiting policy generally includes inpatient care with corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation, magnesium sulfate (as needed), antihypertensives (as needed necessary) and careful fetal and maternal monitoring to identify indications for delivery (eg, uncontrolled hypertension, impaired of the condition of the mother and fetus, including organ dysfunction and distress fetal). As part of watchful waiting, transfer should be considered. intrauterine (before delivery) to a tertiary-level facility with the capacity to neonatal intensive care.
