Background Maternal morbidity and mortality pose a significant impact on national public health, being medical attention of obstetric emergencies (OE) and non-emergencies (ONE) of capital importance. Methods Descriptive and epidemiologic analysis of OE/ONE at a 3rd level military echelon. Results During a 34-months span, 48 patients were approached at the emergency department (1.4 admissions/month). Mean age: 29 ± 3 years (17-41). Eight patients (17%) were considered OE and 40 (83%) ONE. Fifty-eight percent (n = 28) of patients were admitted to our institution; 32% (n = 9) were managed under non-surgically basis and 68% (n = 19) underwent surgical therapy. Most important cause of admission: postoperative hemorrhage (22%; n = 6). Most frequent operative interventions: surgical hemostasis maneuvers (31.5%; n = 6). Eighty-two percent (n = 23) of admissions required management at intensive care unit (ICU), with mean length of stay of 6.4 ± 4.9 days (2-21). Thirty-five percent (n = 8) required mechanical ventilation. Mean score of APACHE II at ICU: 19.4 ± 8.4; predicted probability of death: 35.5%. Global morbidity rate: 27% (1.8 complications/patient). Global mortality rate: 6.2%; specific mortality for pregnant patients 0% (n = 0) and for post-partum patients12.5% (n = 3). Mortality rate at ICU: 4.3% (n = 1). Conclusions Central Military Hospital has delineated and defined several procedures to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality. Appropriate practice of these procedures contributes to reach the desired institutional objectives. |
