Fetal ascites is defined as the presence of intraperitoneal fluid that may be part of a generalized or isolated hydrops. The mortality of non-immune ascites, both fetal and neonatal, is approximately 60%. We present a case of fetal ascites not associated with hydrops and we review the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic approach and treatment of this fetal and neonatal condition.

La ascitis fetal se define como la presencia de líquido intraperitoneal que puede ser parte de un hidrops generalizado o aislado. La mortalidad de la ascitis no inmune, tanto fetal como neonatal, es aproximadamente 60%. Se presenta un caso de ascitis fetal no asociada a hidrops y se revisa la patogenia, clínica y el enfoque diagnóstico y tratamiento de esta condición fetal y neonatal.

Objetivos. Determinar la asociación entre el uso de suturas compresivas y el descenso de hemoglobina a las 24 horas en pacientes poscesárea con diagnóstico de hemorragia posparto (HPP) por atonía uterina. Materiales y métodos. Estudio analítico de cohorte retrospectiva en 625 pacientes postoperadas con diagnóstico de hemorragia posparto por atonía uterina en un instituto nacional materno perinatal entre julio y diciembre del 2020. Se evaluó la asociación mediante t student y regresión lineal múltiple determinando la asociación cruda y ajustada usando variables confusoras. Resultados. Se incluyó en el análisis 157 historias clínicas. La media de la edad fue 29,1 ± 6,6 años, la mediana de índice de masa corporal 30,5 kg/m2 y la mediana de cuidado prenatal fue de 2. No se comunicó eventos adversos por el uso de las suturas compresivas. El empleo de suturas compresivas es...

The coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic and the measures implemented for its control meant the interruption of prenatal care, with potential risk to maternal and fetal health. However, conventional in-person prenatal would imply exposure and risk of infection in patients and health care providers. The Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (INMP) has incorporated teleconsultation as part of a new model of mixed prenatal care, which aims to reduce in-person appointments and, therefore, the contact and risk of viral transmission. The prenatal care package performs essential activities to care for pregnant women of specific gestational ages with a greater impact on perinatal and maternal outcomes. This new model could be generalized nationally and be part of the solution to the disparities of healthcare in Peru, through policies for the use of telemedicine in prenatal care that facilitate its ...
