Abstract

Due to the threat postpartum hemorrhage poses, and the big magnitude it has had in our municipality, its behavior in seriously ill obstetric patients was described in a period of seven years at the 26 de Diciembre General Teaching Hospital in the municipality of Remedios . For it, a retrospective, descriptive and longitudinal study was carried out with 28 patients who presented this condition. The following results were obtained: the medical treatment needed the restoration of the volume in 100% of the patients and the surgical treatment showed that the hysterectomy was the main procedure (71.4%); the anesthesia used -according to the treatment- was the general endotracheal anesthesia (83.3%); 96.4 percent of the patients evolved satisfactorily, and the indicators of mortality and lethality appeared with 115 percent and 3.6 percent respectively. It was concluded that the restoration of volume was used in all the patients and the response to the emergency treatment and the evolution of the ill women with postpartum hemorrhage was satisfactory.
