Hospital infections are high when there is no adequate control of the multiple factors involved. During 2010 and part of 2011 rate of vaginal delivery puerperal endometritis rate was three times that of national standards. Therefore, we applied the World Health Organization (WHO)’s multimodal strategy intervention of hand washing that consists in 1) system change, 2) education and training, 3) feedback, 4) recalls, and 5) organizational climate. Objectives: To diminish puerperal endometritis rates in vaginal deliveries. Design: Quasi experimental, prospective a longitudinal study. Setting: Hospital Nacional Docente Madre Niño San Bartolome, Lima, Peru. Participants: Medical staff, residents, interns rotating in the delivery room. Interventions: Based on WHO Multimodal Strategy of hand washing. Main outcome measures: Rates of puerperal endometritis. Results: Puerperal endometritis star...

Introducción. El COVID-19 y la gestación es una nueva intercurrencia en la valoración de riesgos para la atención de la gestante. Desde el inicio de la pandemia en el país, los casos han ido en aumento. El primer caso atendido en el Hospital San Bartolomé fue el 12 de abril. Desde los primeros reportes de gestantes COVID+ en China, a la fecha, se tiene cada vez mayor información, siendo importante para fines del manejo de la gestante COVID+ que se conozca su epidemiología y los resultados perinatales. Objetivo. Determinar la epidemiología y resultados materno perinatales de COVID-19 en las gestantes del Hospital Nacional Docente Madre Niño San Bartolomé, Lima, Perú. Método. Estudio observacional de corte transversal, en los meses de abril a julio 2020. Se incluyó a todas las gestantes que llegaron a la emergencia obstétrica del Hospital San Bartolomé, a las cuales se les ...

Appropriate glycemic control during pregnancy prevents maternal-fetal complications. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices measure interstitial glucose levels, allowing patients and providers observe glucose values in real time. There are clear benefits of this tool, but lack of clinical experience in Peru. Three pregnant women with gestational diabetes were managed with the help of the CGM, along with nutritional education sessions and medical check-ups with an endocrinologist. All pregnant women had adequate glycemic control with the use of CGM. Two of them required insulin treatment and nutritional counseling, while the other only required nutritional management. The CGM was well received by the patients because it helped in the recognition and counting of carbohydrates, as well as in the adjustment of the treatment.
