OBJECTIVE: Determine the tendency of the rate of maternal mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective of 18 maternal deaths. RESULTS: Of a total of 49.562 deliveries in the "San Bartolome" Hospital between 1991-1999, found 49.079 live births and 18 maternal deaths, making a rate of 36.67 per 1000,000 nv The rate of maternal death was direct in 78% (hemorrhage 39% Infection 22% Eclampsia 11% and disease trophoblast 6%) and indirect 22%. Remaining in 28% was less than 24 hours, from 1 to 2 days 33%, 3 to 5 days 11% and more than 5 days 28%. The fastest time was 2 hours, corresponding to a premature detachment of the placenta and the largest 30 days, to pulmonary tuberculosis. In relation to age, the average was 30 years, minimum age 15 years and maximum 44 years. With respect to prenatal 33% did not, 1-3 17%, more than 3 50%. According to pa...

Objectives: To determine near-miss maternal morbidity (MME) at a National Teaching Hospital. Design: Observational, retrospective, transversal type study. Setting: Hospital Nacional Docente Madre-Niño San Bartolome, Lima, Peru. Participants: Pregnant and puerperal women. Interventions: Clinical charts of 206 patients attended between January 2007 and December 2009 and with consideration of extreme maternal morbidity related to specific disease, organic or management failure were revised. Socio-demographic and obstetric variables were analyzed following the protocol established in FLASOG´s methodology for surveillance, as well as identification of the basic cause of morbidityand delays established in the ‘route towards life’ methodology. Main outcome measures: Incidence and characteristics of patients. Results: Extreme maternal morbidity (EMM) affected 0.94% of patients...

OBJETIVE: To compare the acceptability of two registers of fetal movements perceived by the mother in a low-risk population. Location: San Bartolome Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 1998 and March 1999, 350 pregnant women randomly selected for recording fetal movements in the chart proposed by the Latin American Center for Perinatology (CLAP) and 350 for the record in an alternate graph ("Count up 10 "). The difficulty filling, the performance thereof was evaluated, and the degree of acceptance of both primers was compared. The results were subjected to statistical evaluation with x2 test, accepting a value of p <0.05 as significant. RESULTS: Of 700 pregnant women evaluated, 64% (n = 224) of the Primer Group CLAP aptly met the registration of fetal movements, compared with 91% (n = 319) group Primer "Count to 10" ( . p <0.01) CONCLUSION: For a low-risk pregnant population...
