ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Este artigo de revisão sistemática tem como objetivo analisar as principais características relacionadas à infeção puerperal em mulheres submetidas ao parto cesáreo. Fonte dos dados: Foi realizada busca nas bases de dados on-line Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e PubMed. Seleção dos estudos: Selecionaram-se artigos publicados nos últimos 11 anos (2010-2021), totalizando 12 artigos analisados. Coleta de dados: Realizou-se a busca dos artigos a partir dos descritores infecção puerperal, mortalidade materna, cesárea, fatores de risco em inglês e português. Em seguida à adequação aos critérios de inclusão (artigos em inglês, português e espanhol, com publicação nos últimos 11 anos, realizados em humanos) e exclusão (artigos duplicados, revisão de literatura, estudos de caso e dissertações), a análise dos títulos e dos resumos dos artigos encontrados permitiu a exclusão daqueles que se afastavam do tema em estudo. Síntese dos dados: Dentre os fatores sociodemográficos, destacam-se mulheres nos extremos de idade, negras, residentes na zona rural, com baixo nível econômico e escolar, primíparas e tabagistas. Em relação aos fatores clínicos, obesidade, HIV, diabetes mellitus, doenças cardiovasculares, hipertensão arterial, pré-eclâmpsia e eclâmpsia, anemia e infecções geniturinárias apresentaram-se como fatores de risco para infecção puerperal. Fatores obstétricos também foram avaliados, identificando-se como variáveis importantes o parto cesáreo, rotura prematura de membranas, tempo de membrana rota, trabalho de parto maior que 12 horas, parto prematuro e trabalho de parto induzido, hemorragia pós-parto, transfusão prévia e mecônio em líquido amniótico. Por fim, as características assistenciais trazem o baixo número de consultas de pré-natal e número de toques vaginais antes e após a ruptura de membranas como variáveis de risco. Conclusão: Muitos dos fatores identificados são passíveis de controle, e a sua reversão contribui para a redução dos índices de infecção puerperal e, consequentemente, de mortalidade materna.(AU)


Objective: This systematic review article aims to analyze the main characteristics related to puerperal infection in women undergoing cesarean delivery. Source of data: A search was performed in the online databases Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Pub- Med. Selection of studies: Articles published in the last 11 years were selected, totaling 12 analyzed articles. Data collection: Articles were searched based on the keywords puerperal infection, maternal mortality, cesarean section, risk factors in English and Portuguese. Following the adaptation to the inclusion criteria (articles in English, Portuguese and Spanish, publication in the last 11 years, carried out in humans) and exclusion (duplicates, literature review, case studies and dissertations), the analysis of the titles and abstracts of the found articles allowed the exclusion of those who departed from the topic under study. Summary of the findings: Among the sociodemographic factors, women of extreme age, blacks, residents in the rural area, with low economic and educational status, primiparous women and smokers, stand out. Regarding clinical factors, obesity, HIV, Diabetes Mellitus, Cardiovascular Diseases, Hypertension, Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia, Anemia and genitourinary infections were risk factors for puerperal infection. Obstetric factors were also evaluated, identifying as important variables cesarean delivery, premature rupture of membranes, ruptured membrane time, labor longer than 12 hours, premature labor and induced labor, postpartum hemorrhage, previous transfusion and meconium in amniotic fluid. Finally, the care characteristics bring the low number of prenatal consultations, the number of vaginal touches before and after rupture of membranes as risk variables. Conclusion: Many of the identified factors are possible to control and their reversion contributes to the reduction of puerperal infection rates and consequently maternal mortality.(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: La fascitis necrotizante es una infección que se desarrolla de manera rápida, afecta la piel, tejido celular subcutáneo, fascia superficial y en ocasiones la profunda, en heridas quirúrgicas al producir necrosis hística y severa toxicidad sistémica. Es una afectación sistémica acompañante, que a su vez a ella se asocian factores predisponentes endógenos como: diabetes mellitus, obesidad, alcoholismo, infección por VIH, y exógenos: cirugía ginecobstétrica, inyecciones, traumatismos; por lo que estos pacientes resultan ser enfermos críticos en las unidades de cuidados intensivos, con un curso clínico no uniforme, al llevar a una evolución fulminante cuando corresponde con la variante hiperaguda o fulminante. Objetivo: Describir la presencia de fascitis necrotizante hiperaguda causada por Enterococcus gallinarum, en una puérpera. Reporte de caso: Puérpera que se le practicó parto distócico por cesárea electiva a las 38.3 semanas, a las 24 h presentó manifestaciones generales que se acompañaron de lesiones en la piel; se le realizó cirugía ginecobstétrica, su evolución fue tórpida y falleció por fallo multiorgánico a los 3 días debido a las consecuencias de fascitis necrotizante hiperaguda o fulminante, causada esta por un Enterococcus gallinarum. Conclusiones: La fascitis necrotizante es una enfermedad poco frecuente y mortal si no se trata a tiempo; su diagnóstico resulta difícil en su fase inicial, debido a que casi siempre es clínico. El tratamiento quirúrgico debe ser urgente, combinarse este con antibióticoterapia sistémica, debido al germen causal y la toxicidad que producen.


ABSTRACT Background: Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection that develops rapidly, affecting the skin, subcutaneous cellular tissue, superficial fascia and sometimes deep fascia, in surgical wounds by producing hystenotic necrosis and severe systemic toxicity. It is a supplementary systemic affectation, which in turn is associated with endogenous predisposing factors such as: diabetes mellitus, obesity, alcoholism, HIV infection, and exogenous: gynecobstetric surgery, injections, traumatisms; so these patients are critical patients in intensive care units, with a non-uniform clinical progression, leading to a fulminant evolution when parallel to the hyperacute or fulminant variant. Objective: To describe the presence of hyperacute necrotizing fasciitis caused by Enterococcus gallinarum in a puerperal. Case report: A puerperal who suffered from dystocia delivery by elective cesarean section at 38.3 weeks, at 24 h presented general manifestations accompanied by skin lesions; she underwent gynecobstetric surgery, her evolution was torpid and she died of multiorgan failure after 3 days due to the consequences of hyperacute or fulminant necrotizing fasciitis, caused by Enterococcus gallinarum. Conclusions: Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare and fatal disease if not treated in time; its diagnosis is difficult in its early phase because it is often clinical. Surgical treatment should be urgent and combined with systemic antibiotic therapy due to the causative germ and the toxicity they produce.

ABSTRACT

Las enfermedades infecciosas que comprometen el aparato respiratorio, generalmente son más graves en las gestantes y en las puérperas en comparación con las no embarazadas. Dentro de estas infecciones, se encuentran las producidas por agentes virales como la influenza estacional, pandémica y zoonótica, los coronavirus SARS, el MERS; y desde el año 2019 el SARS-CoV-2 causante de la actual pandemia COVID-19. Las noxas virales pueden ejercer un efecto deletéreo sobre el feto debido a respuesta inflamatoria vía cascada de citoquinas o daño directo a nivel de algunos tejidos. Los efectos del SARS-CoV-2 a nivel placentario, no están bien entendidos, los hallazgos histopatológicos incluyen alteraciones de la perfusión venosa materna y fetal y signos de inflamación placentaria en diferentes porcentajes. La placenta es un órgano altamente especializado que confiere una protección especial generando un ambiente protegido manteniendo un equilibrio de factores inmunes y bioquímicos que favorecen el desarrollo fetal. Su estructura funciona como una barrera protectora dificultando o impidiendo el paso de noxas al producto de la gestación. Diversos patógenos, incluyendo los virus pueden alterar los diferentes componentes celulares de la placenta. En la siguiente revisión describimos los más recientes hallazgos de la interacción con la placenta de diversos virus respiratorios y sus consecuencias en la salud materno fetal(AU)


Infectious diseases of the respiratory system generally present greater severity in women during pregnancy or puerperium, than in non-pregnant women. Among them, we find those produced by viral agents such as seasonal, pandemic and zoonotic influenza, SARS coronaviruses, MERS; and since 2019 the SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Viral noxae can exert a deleterious effect on the fetus due to an inflammatory response via the cytokines cascade or direct damage at some tissues. The effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the placenta is not well understood, the histopathological findings include alterations of maternal and fetal perfusion and signs of placental inflammation in different degrees. The placenta is a highly specialized organ that confers a special protection by generating a protected environment maintaining a balance of immune and biochemical factors that favor the fetal development. Its structure works as a protective barrier, hindering or preventing the passage of noxae to the fetus. Several pathogens, including viruses, can alter different cellular components of the placenta. In the review, we describe the most recent findings of the interaction of various respiratory viruses with the placenta and their consequences on maternal and fetal health(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil epidemiológico e microbiológico das puérperas com diagnóstico de infecção após cesárea, caracterizando as infecções de sítio cirúrgico e o tratamento. Métodos: Coorte prospectiva de parturientes submetidas a parto cesáreo em maternidade pública de Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil, com diagnóstico de infecção de sítio cirúrgico, entre 1º de julho de 2019 e 30 de abril de 2020. Foram coletados dados epidemiológicos. Para a investigação do perfil microbiológico, foi realizada a identificação da cultura a partir da secreção da infecção do sítio cirúrgico e do antibiograma das culturas. Resultados: Um total de 81 pacientes foi diagnosticado com infecção de sítio cirúrgico durante o período de estudo. A taxa de infecção de sítio cirúrgico na maternidade em estudo foi de 6,0%. As pacientes possuíam baixa escolaridade e baixa renda mensal, com ocupações que requerem menor qualificação, sendo a maioria solteira. Entre as pacientes, 70,4% eram obesas e 28,4% apresentaram sobrepeso; 45,6% delas tiveram parto cesáreo de emergência e 29,6% não usaram antibióticos profiláticos. Staphylococcus aureus foi a cultura identificada mais frequentemente e apresentou resistência ao antibiótico mais prescrito: a gentamicina. Conclusão: A taxa de infecção do sítio cirúrgico foi alta durante o período do estudo. Ressaltamos a necessidade de um protocolo eficaz de identificação bacteriana e acompanhamento da puérpera. O conhecimento das características epidemiológicas e microbiológicas pode auxiliar no planejamento dos cuidados realizados pelas instituições de saúde para minimizar os casos de infecção de sítio cirúrgico e suas consequências.(AU)


Objective: To describe the epidemiological and microbiological profiles of puerperal women diagnosed with the infection after cesarean sections, characterizing the surgical site infections and treatment. Methods: Prospective cohort of parturients underwent cesarean delivery at a public maternity hospital in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, diagnosed with surgical site infection between July 1, 2019, and April 30, 2020. Epidemiological data were collected. To investigate the microbiological profile, both culture identification from surgical site infection secretion and antibiogram for the cultures were performed. Results: A total of 81 patients were confirmed to have surgical site infection during this study period; The surgical site infection rate in the maternity hospital under study was 6.0%. The patients presented a low level of education and monthly income, with occupations that require lower qualification, and most of them are single. Seventy point four percent of the patients were obese, and 28.4% were overweight. Forty-five point six percent of patients had an emergency cesarean delivery, and 29.6% did not use prophylactic antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequent culture identified from surgical site infection secretion and presented resistance to the most prescribed antibiotic, Gentamicin. Conclusion: The rate of surgical site infection was high during the study period. We highlight the need for an effective bacterial identification protocol and monitoring of puerperal women. Knowledge of epidemiological and microbiological characteristics can assist in the planning of care performed by the health institutions to minimize cases of surgical site infection and its consequences.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen El objetivo es comprender la aparición y propagación de locuras puerperales en Argentina y Colombia, a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, así como su decadencia o desvanecimiento hacia la década de 1940-1950. Investigación histórico-hermenéutica, según los conceptos de "campo de visibilidad" y "nicho ecológico" de una enfermedad transitoria. No existió correlación entre embarazo, parto y puerperio con el estado delirante que motivaba la internación, atribuido a factores predisponentes y, asimismo, tuvieron una autonomía nosográfica en virtud de etiopatogenias singulares. Al tiempo que empezó a emerger el tipo clínico locura puerperal, se entrecruzaron el campo disciplinar de la obstetricia con el alienismo, con una mayor preponderancia del primero.


Abstract Our goal is to understand the appearance and spread of forms of puerperal insanity in Argentina and Colombia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, as well as their decline or disappearance around the 1940s. This is a historical and hermeneutical study, which uses the concepts of "field of visibility" and "ecological niche" for a transitory disease. There was no correlation between pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium and the state of delirium that led to commitment, which was attributed to predisposing factors; furthermore, forms of puerperal insanity were nosographically distinct due to their unique etiopathogeneses. As clinical cases of puerperal insanity started to emerge, the disciplinary field of obstetrics converged with psychiatry, with the former exerting more weight.

ABSTRACT

El término infección puerperal se utiliza para describir cualquier infección bacteriana del aparato genital después del parto. Durante gran parte del siglo XX las infecciones puerperales, la preeclampsia y la hemorragia obstétrica formaron parte de la tríada letal de mortalidad materna. La ecografía, la resonancia magnética y la tomografía axial computarizada son la triada de elección para el diagnóstico del abdomen agudo en el puerperio. El mismo resulta difícil debido a factores intrínsecos y es entonces, cuando el radiólogo adquiere un papel crucial. Se presentó un caso de una mujer de 30 años, con 8 días de habérsele practicado una cesárea con un puerperio inmediato normal. Posteriormente presentó dolor abdominal, fiebre, escalofríos y masa palpable en fosa iliaca izquierda. Se practicaron técnicas de imágenes se plantea una masa ovárica izquierda, se realizó laparotomía exploradora y se concluyó como absceso ovárico (AU).


The term puerperal infection is used to describe any bacterial infection of the genital tract after delivery. During much of the twentieth century puerperal infections, preeclampsia and obstetric hemorrhage were part of the lethal triad of maternal mortality. Ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are the triad of choice for the diagnosis of acute abdomen in the puerperium, which is difficult due to intrinsic factors and it is when radiologist plays a vital role. The authors present the case of a woman, aged 30 years, at the 8th day after undergoing a cesarean section with a normal immediate puerperium, who later presented abdominal pain (AU).

Método: Se realizó un estudio explicativo-observacional, longitudinal, retrospectivo y tipo caso control. Resultados: La endomiometritis fue la principal causa de ingreso con el 79,5 %. Las variables que se comportaron como predictoras de sepsis puerperal fueron la paridad-multípara, la edad gestacional menor de 37 semanas, el parto por cesárea, el antecedente de preclampsia, de sepsis vaginal y sepsis urinaria, la rotura prematura de membranas y el trabajo de parto mayor a 12 horas. Las variables que constituyeron factores de riesgo independiente para la morbilidad por sepsis grave fueron el exceso de base <- 4 (OR=11,9; IC 95 %; 3,9-35,3; p<0,05) la proteína C reactiva >8 mg/L (OR=9,67; IC 95 %; 5,9-14,24), la SatO2< 75 (OR=6,35; IC 95 %; 1,72-23,4), el anión gap >16 mmol/L (OR=5,88; IC 95 %; 3,86-8,97), el APACHE II y la escala SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) al ingreso con el (OR=2,57; IC 95 %; 0,97-6,80) y el (OR=2,67; IC 95 %; 1,95-3,66), respectivamente. Conclusiones: La sepsis puerperal significa una problemática en el Hospital General Docente "Dr. Agostinho Neto" de Guantánamo, por lo que su reconocimiento y tratamiento adecuados son las claves para disminuir la morbilidad por esta causa.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Sepsis and septic shock represent one of the most serious complications during the puerperium. Objective: To identify the factors associated with the presentation of puerperal sepsis in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Service of the General Teaching Hospital "Dr. Agostinho Neto" during the 2017-2018 period. Method: An explanatory, observational, longitudinal, retrospective and case-control study was conducted. Results: Endomyometritis was the main cause of admission with 79.5%. The variables that behaved as predictors of puerperal sepsis were multiparous parity, gestational age under 37 weeks, delivery by caesarean section, history of preclampsia, vaginal sepsis and urinary sepsis, premature rupture of membranes and work of delivery greater than 12 hours. The variables that constituted independent risk factors for severe sepsis morbidity were base excess <- 4 (OR=11.9; 95% CI; 3.9-35.3; p <0.05) protein C reactive> 8 mg/L (OR=9.67; 95% CI; 5.9-14.24), SatO2 <75 (OR=6.35; 95% CI; 1.72-23.4), the gap anion> 16 mmol/L (OR=5.88; 95% CI; 3.86-8.97), APACHE II and the SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) scale upon admission with (OR=2, 57; 95% CI; 0.97-6.80) and (OR=2.67; 95% CI; 1.95-3.66), respectively. Conclusions: Puerperal sepsis means a problem at the "Dr. Agostinho Neto" General Teaching Hospital in Guantanamo, so that its recognition and adequate treatment are the keys to reducing morbidity from this cause.

ABSTRACT

Em 1992, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) propôs a seguinte definição: Sepse puerperal é uma infecção do trato genital ocorrendo, em qualquer momento, entre a ruptura das membranas ou o trabalho e o 42º dia após o parto, no qual estão presentes dois ou mais dos seguintes eventos: • Dor pélvica; • Febre (temperatura oral de 38,5 °C ou superior em qualquer ocasião); • Corrimento vaginal anormal, por exemplo, presença de pus; • Cheiro anormal/mau cheiro do corrimento vaginal; • Atraso na redução do tamanho do útero (<2 cm/dia durante os primeiros oito dias). 1. O conceito de infecção puerperal deve ser complementado com o de morbidade febril puerperal, pela dificuldade de caracterizar a infecção que ocorre logo após o parto. 2. Outras definições que se fazem necessárias são: • Bacteremia: presença de bactérias na corrente sanguínea; • Sepse: síndrome clínica caracterizada pela resposta da hospedeira a um processo infeccioso, acompanhada de uma resposta inflamatória sistêmica; • Sepse grave: sepse associada à disfunção de um ou mais órgãos (sistema nervoso central, renal, pulmonar, hepática, cardíaca, coagulopatia, acidose metabólica); • Choque séptico: sepse com hipotensão refratária à ressuscitação volêmica. 3. A OMS incluiu o termo "infecção puerperal", pois hoje estão morrendo mulheres com infecções de outros locais do corpo.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivou-se identificar ocorrências de infecção do sítio cirúrgico pós-cesárea em uma maternidade. Trata-se de um estudo transversal retrospectivo com abordagem quantitativa desenvolvido em uma maternidade pública de referência em obstetrícia localizada na Região Nordeste do Brasil. A amostra constou de 53 prontuários de mulheres com infecção no sítio cirúrgico pós-cesárea no período de 2010 a 2013 e o instrumento de coleta de dados foi um formulário estruturado. Os dados foram analisados em software estatístico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences versão 20.0 apresentados na forma descritiva com frequências e percentuais. Os resultados mostraram taxa de infecção no sítio cirúrgico pós-cesárea de 2,92%; as usuárias apresentaram como fatores de risco baixa escolaridade, ocorrência de infecção urinária, hipertensão arterial, obesidade e tabagismo. Observou-se que a taxa de infecção no sítio cirúrgico pós-cesárea e fatores de risco identificados ressaltam a necessidade de investigação prévia e registro destes com cuidados preventivos de orientação e preparo das usuárias de forma segura com protocolos que direcionem condutas mais uniformes no tratamento destas infecções.

Concluye que la tasa de infección en el sitio quirúrgico post cesárea y factores de riesgo identificados resalta la necesidad de investigación previa y registro de éstos con cuidados preventivos de orientación y preparación de las usuarias de forma segura con protocolos que direccionan conductas más uniformes en el tratamiento de estas infecciones.


Abstract The objective of this study was to identify the occurrence of post-cesarean surgical site infection in a maternity hospital. This is a cross-sectional retrospective study with a quantitative approach developed in a reference public maternity in obstetrics located in the Northeast Region of Brazil. The sample consisted of 53 medical records of women with post-cesarean surgical site infection from 2010 to 2013, and the data collection instrument was a structured form. The data were analyzed in Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0 presented in descriptive form with frequencies and percentages. The results showed post-cesarean surgical site infection rate of 2.92%; the users presented as low risk factors schooling, occurrence of urinary infection, hypertension, obesity and smoking. It was concluded that the post-cesarean surgical site infection rate and identified risk factors underscore the need for prior investigation and registration of these with preventive care of orientation and preparation of the users in a safe way with protocols that guide more uniform conduct in the treatment of these infections.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Antecedentes: la fiebre puerperal es una de las complicaciones más comunes que aparece en el puerperio. Objetivo: demostrar cómo el desarrollo de fiebre en el puerperio no siempre está relacionado con el parto. Metodología: se presenta un caso clínico de fiebre puerperal. Resultado: en nuestro caso, la paciente no responde al tratamiento habitual de la fiebre puerperal, no tiene clínica ginecológica y además presenta alteración analítica de los valores hepáticos junto con hepato-esplenomegalia, siendo diagnosticada finalmente de leishmaniasis. Conclusiones: la leishmaniasis es una enfermedad poco frecuente pero endémica en nuestro medio. Debemos sospecharla ante casos de fiebre de origen desconocido refractaria y pancitopenia.


SUMMARY Background: puerperal fever is one of the most common complications that appears in the puerperium. Objective: to demonstrate how the development of fever in the puerperium is not always related to childbirth. Methodology: a clinical case of puerperal fever is presented. Result: in our case, the patient does not respond to the usual treatment of puerperal fever, does not have a gynecological clinic and also presents an analytical alteration of the hepatic values together with hepato-splenomegaly, being finally diagnosed of leishmaniasis. Conclusions: leishmaniasis is a rare but endemic disease in our environment. We should suspect it in cases of fever of unknown origin and pancytopenia.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La fascitis necrotizante es una infección progresiva poco común, con alta letalidad que puede afectar a cualquier parte del cuerpo, pero es más frecuente en las extremidades, en especial en las piernas, causada en su mayoría por una infección polimicrobiana y se caracteriza por afectar la fascia superficial, tejido subcutáneo, grasa subcutánea con nervios, arterias, venas y fascia profunda. Objetivo: Reportar el caso de una puérpera diagnosticada de fascitis necrotizante. Presentación de caso: Puérpera de 28 años de edad con antecedentes de obesidad e infección por VIH, ingresada en el Servicio de Obstetricia en un hospital de la República Sudafricana, por presentar fiebre, escalofríos y dolor en el abdomen. Se utilizó tratamiento endovenoso con antibióticos y tratamiento quirúrgico. Resultados: Evolución satisfactoria de la paciente sin secuelas. Conclusiones: El diagnóstico oportuno de esta patología permite un accionar temprano, con la consecuente sobrevida de los pacientes(AU)


Introduction: Necrotizing fasciitis is a very lethal uncommon progressive infection that can affect any part of the body, however it is more frequent in the limbs, especially the legs, caused mostly by a polymicrobial infection. It affects the superficial fascia, subcutaneous tissue, subcutaneous fat with nerves, arteries, veins and deep fascia. Objective: To report the case of a puerpera diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. Case presentation: A 28-year-old woman with a history of obesity and HIV infection, was admitted to the Obstetrics Service at a hospital in the Republic of South Africa.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: El aumento en cantidad de cesáreas se asocia con morbimortalidad materna. El modelo Robson, utilizado para identificar grupos de mayor aporte a tasas de cesárea, se aplicó en un hospital de tercer nivel para caracterizar grupos de pacientes cesareadas, describir causas obstétricas y desenlaces maternos y fetales. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de cohorte histórica descriptiva realizado en un hospital de alta complejidad. De 2053 gestantes, se incluyeron 667 cesareadas (32,4%) de enero-diciembre de 2014, con datos completos en la historia clínica. Se excluyeron cuando no existió la información para diligenciar el formato de recolección de datos. Se realizó análisis descriptivo utilizando los programas SPSS 20-Excel 2010. Se usó el modelo Robson para calcular tamaño y proporción de cada grupo a la tasa general de cesárea y se describieron causas de cesárea, desenlace materno y neonatal. El estudio lo aprobó el Comité de Ética Hospitalaria. Resultados: Los grupos Robson que más contribuyeron fueron 5 y 10, con proporciones sobre el total de cesáreas de 25,5% y 11,2%, respectivamente. Cesárea previa y compromiso del bienestar fetal fueron las principales causas. 99 pacientes presentaron complicaciones relacionadas con cesárea, la infección puerperal fue más frecuente (6.9%). 173 recién nacidos requirieron unidad neonatal, con dificultad respiratoria como principal complicación (44%). Conclusiones: El análisis descriptivo y el modelo Robson permitieron agrupar las pacientes en grupos 2, 5 y 10, además evidenciaron complicaciones maternas y fetales consistentes con estudios publicados. Esto contribuye a las estadísticas regionales y nacionales.


Abstract Objective: The increase in number of caesarean sections is associated with maternal morbidity and mortality. The Robson model, used to identify groups with higher contributions at cesarean rates, was applied in a tertiary hospital to characterize groups of patients with highest percentage of cesarean section, describe obstetric causes and maternal and fetal outcomes. Materials and methods: Descriptive historical cohort study conducted in a highly complex hospital. Of 2053 pregnant women, 667 were included (32.4%) from January-December 2014, with complete data in the clinical history. They were excluded when there was no information to fill out the data collection format. A descriptive analysis was carried out using the SPSS 20-Excel 2010 programs. The Robson model was used to calculate the size and proportion of each group at the general cesarean rate and causes of cesarean, maternal and neonatal outcomes were described. The study was approved by the Hospital Ethics Committee. Results: The Robson groups that contributed the most were 5 and 10, with proportions over the total cesarean sections of 25.5% and 11.2%, respectively. Prior cesarean section and commitment to fetal well-being were the main causes. 99 patients presented complications related to cesarean section, puerperal infection was more frequent (6.9%). 173 newborns required a neonatal unit, with respiratory distress as the main complication (44%) Conclusions: The descriptive analysis and the Robson model allowed to group the patients in groups 2, 5 and 10, besides they showed maternal and fetal complications consistent with published studies. This contributes to regional and national statistics.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El mecanismo más común de actividad antibiótica es la interferencia en la síntesis de la pared celular bacteriana. Las cefalosporinas tienen el mismo mecanismo de acción que las penicilinas; sin embargo, tienen un espectro antibacteriano más amplio, son resistentes a muchas b-lactamasas y tienen propiedades farmacocinéticas mejoradas. Objetivos: Identificar por servicios los gérmenes aislados y determinar la resistencia del Staphylococcus aureus a las cefalosporinas. Método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, transversal y descriptivo en hospital Ginecobstétrico de Guanabacoa desde enero de 2014 hasta diciembre de 2016. Se seleccionaron como variables los gérmenes aislados y el patrón de resistencia del germen que predominó frente a todas las generaciones de cefalosporinas. Resultados: En el servicio de neonatología el mayor aislamiento fue en el hemocultivo seguido del catéter venoso (19 pacientes) y tubo endotraqueal. En el servicio de Obstetricia, los loquios y el sitio quirúrgico fue donde se aisló mayor número (69 y 31 pacientes, respectivamente). Conclusiones: El germen más frecuente aislado en ambos servicios fue el Staphylococcus aureus y la resistencia a las cefalosporinas fue muy elevado(AU)


Introduction: The synthesis interference of bacterial cell wall is the most common antibiotic mechanism. Cephalosporins have the same mechanism of action as penicillin. However, they have wider antibacterial spectrum, they are more resistant to B-lactamases and better pharmacokinetics properties. Additionally, cephalosporins have higher activity in front of gram-negative bacteria than penicillin. Objective: To identify isolated germs in these services and to determine the Staphylococcus aureus resistance to cephalosporins. Method: A retrospective, transversal and descriptive study was conducted in Guanabacoa Gynecobstetric hospital from January 2014 to December 2016. selected variables as isolated microorganism, and resistance pattern in front of cephalosporin generations. The isolated germs and the resistance pattern of the germ that prevailed against all generations of cephalosporins were selected as variables. In the Obstetrics Service, the largest number of germs was isolated in the lochia and surgical sites. (69 and 31, respectively). Results: In neonatology service, the most frequent isolation occurred in blood culture (35), venous catheter (19) and endotracheal tube (10). In Obstetric service, the most frequent isolation occurred in liquors (69) and the surgical site isolated (31). Conclusions: Staphylococcus Aureus was the main microorganism isolated in hospital and its cephalosporin resistance was very high(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la prevención de la infección puerperal es una exigencia social. Objetivo: precisar la asociación entre rotura de membranas ovulares, infección cervicovaginal y corioamnionitis, y presentación de infección puerperal en puérperas atendidas en el servicio de Obstetriciadel Hospital General Docente Dr Agostinho Neto durante los años 2016-2018. Método: se realizó un estudio de casos y controles. El universo se conformó por todas las puérperas con infección puerperal (n=622) y de estas últimas se seleccionó una muestra por conveniencia de 60 pacientes, las que constituyeron el grupo de casos y se eligió un grupo de pacientes sin infección puerperal (n=120) que conformaron el grupo control. Se estudiaron las siguientes variables: edad en años, tiempo de rotura de membranas ovulares, diagnóstico de infección cervicovaginal y corioamnionitis y vía del parto. Resultados: predominaron las edades entre 20 y 29 años en los casos (41,7 por ciento) y controles (48,3 por ciento). Existieron evidencias estadísticamente significativas, con una confiabilidad del 95 por ciento, de que la rotura de membranas de más de 24 horas, la infección cervicovaginal y la corioamnionitis fueron factores de riesgo de infección puerperal. Predominó la vía vaginal en los casos (60 por ciento) y controles (61,7 por ciento), que no resultó estadísticamente significativa asociada a la infección puerperal. Conclusiones: las puérperas con rotura de membranas ovulares de más de 24 horas, infección cervicovaginal y corioamnionitis presentaron mayor riesgo de infección puerperal(AU)


Introduction: the prevention of puerperal infection is a social requirement. Objective: to specify the association between rupture of ovular membranes, cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis and the presentation of puerperal infection in puerperal women attended in the Obstetrics Service of the Hospital Dr. Agostinho Neto during the years 2016-2018. Method: a study was conducted of cases and controls. The universe was formed by all puerperal puerperal infections (n=622), and of the latter a sample was selected for convenience of 60 patients, which constituted the group of cases; a group of patients without puerperal infection (n=120) who formed the control group was chosen. The following variables were studied: age in years, time of rupture of ovular membranes, diagnosis of cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis and birth pathway. Results: ages between 20 and 29 years predominated in cases (41.7 per cent) and controls (48.3per cent). There was statistically significant evidence, with a reliability of 95per cent, that the rupture of membranes over 24 hours, cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis were risk factors for puerperal infection. The vaginalroute predominated in the cases (60per cent) and controls (61.7per cent), which was not statistically significant associated with puerperal infection. Conclusions: puerperal women with ruptured ovular membranes over 24 hours, cervicovaginal infection and chorioamnionitis presented a higher risk of puerperal infection(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: Puerperal sepsis is the second most frequent cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in resource limited settings and often occurs within the first 42 days after childbirth. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of septicemia, its bacterial isolates, drug susceptibility patterns and associated factors among sepsis suspected women attending delivery at a referral hospital in Ethiopia. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted with a sample size of 441 women in the age group 15-49 years at Dilchora hospital, Dire Dawa, Eastern Ethiopia from May 1 to July 30, 2016. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected using structured interview questionnaires. Blood was collected aseptically and inoculated into a broth medium and cultured aerobically for 48 hours. Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of isolated bacteria was determined by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Binary logistic regression was used to test for association. Significant variables were further adjusted using multivariate analysis. Result: The prevalence of septicemia was 12.9% of suspected cases and coagulase negative staphylococcus was found to be the most frequent isolate (28.1%) followed by E. coli (22.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.5%) and Proteus spp (3.5%). Multiple vaginal examinations and multiple pregnancies were associated with the occurrence of sepsis. Conclusion: The prevalence of septicemia was 12.9%. Coagulase negative staphylococci and E. coli were the predominant bacteria isolated. Most of bacterial isolates were resistant against commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin, amoxicillin and tetracycline

ABSTRACT

Abstract This article explores women's reproductive health in early twentieth-century Rio de Janeiro, showing that elevated and sustained stillbirth and maternal mortality rates marked women's reproductive years. Syphilis and obstetric complications during childbirth were the main causes of stillbirths, while puerperal fever led maternal death rates. Utilizing traditional sources such as medical dissertations and lesser-used sources including criminal investigations, this article argues that despite official efforts to medicalize childbirth and increase access to clinical healthcare, no real improvements were made to women's reproductive health in the first half of the twentieth century. This, of course, did not make pregnancy and childbirth any easier for the women who embodied these statistics in their reproductive lives.


Resumo O artigo aborda a saúde reprodutiva das mulheres no Rio de Janeiro do início do século XX, mostrando que taxas elevadas de mortalidade materna e de contínua natimortalidade marcavam os anos reprodutivos das mulheres. As principais causas de natimortalidade eram sífilis e complicações obstétricas, enquanto febre puerperal encabeçava as taxas de morte materna. Utilizando fontes tradicionais como teses doutorais e fontes como investigações criminais, o artigo discute que, apesar dos esforços oficiais para medicalizar o parto e aumentar o acesso aos serviços de saúde, nenhuma melhoria real foi feita na saúde reprodutiva das mulheres na primeira metade do século XX. Isso, certamente, não facilitou a gravidez e o parto das mulheres que compunham as estatísticas em suas vidas reprodutivas.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a frequência de sepse em gestantes e puérperas atendidas em um hospital, identificar os principais focos originários de sepse na gestação e puerpério, e verificar os principais agentes etiológicos envolvidos em sua etiopatogenia. MÉTODOS: Estudo do tipo transversal descritivo realizado no Hospital do Trabalhador, em Curitiba (PR), de agosto de 2014 a agosto de 2016. Revisão e análise de 71 prontuários de pacientes diagnosticadas com sepse, sepse grave ou choque séptico. Os aspectos estudados foram idades gestacional, agente etiológico, foco infeccioso, principal trimestre gestacional acometido e prevalência de cada tipo de sepse. RESULTADOS: A frequência de sepse durante a gestação e o puerpério no período estudado foi de nove casos para cada mil gestantes. A ocorrência de sepse foi relacionada principalmente ao segundo semestre gestacional (39,4%). Os casos de sepse somaram 73,2% do total, enquanto os demais evoluíram com quadros de sepse grave e choque séptico . Escherichia coli representou 33,8%, sendo o urinário o foco infeccioso mais prevalente (70,4%). Ceftriaxona foi o antibiótico mais utilizado, tanto isoladamente quanto em associação (84,4%). Entre os desfechos para o feto, 85,9% não tiveram complicações. CONCLUSÕES: Os novos conceitos de sepse publicados pela Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) e pela European Society of Critical Care Medicine (ESICM) contrariam os interesses dos países conhecidos como de baixos e médios recursos. Foi encontrado aumento da incidência de sepse gestacional, ocorrendo prevalência do foco urinário; consequentemente, o agente principal foi E. coli. Ademais, ocorreram importantes consequências perinatais como mortalidade e prematuridade. (AU)


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the frequency of sepsis in pregnant and puerperal patients attended in a hospital, and to identify the main focus of sepsis during gestation and puerperium, and check the main etiological agents involved in its pathogenesis. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out at Hospital do Trabalhador (city of Curitiba, state of Paraná), from August 2014 to August 2016. It is a review and analysis of the charts of 71 patient diagnosed with sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock. Aspects studied: gestational age, etiologic agent, infectious focus, main affected gestational trimester, and prevalence of each type of sepsis. RESULTS: The frequency of sepsis during pregnancy and puerperium was 9 cases for 1000 pregnant women. The occurrence of sepsis was mainly related to the second gestational semester (39.4%). Severe sepsis and septic shock comprised 73.2% of the cases. Escherichia coli accounted for 33.8%, and the most prevalent infectious focus was urinary (70.4%). Ceftriaxone was the most commonly used antibiotic, both alone and in combination (84.4%). Among the outcomes for the fetus, 85.9% had no complications. CONCLUSIONS: The new concepts of sepsis, published by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), and by the European Society of Critical Care Medicine (ESICM) contradict the interests of the countries with low and medium resources. An increase in the incidence of gestational sepsis occurred, with a prevalence of urinary focus; consequently the main agent was Escherichia coli. In addition, there were important perinatal consequences such as mortality and prematurity. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Puerperal sepsis is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Postpartum pelvic infections can cause various complications, including wound infections and necrotizing fasciitis. Several microorganisms are known to cause such infections; however, no study has reported on Staphylococcus caprae, a coagulase-negative staphylococcus that is isolated frequently from animals and infrequently from human specimens, as a causative agent. Here, we report a rare case of septic shock complicated by necrotizing fasciitis after a cesarean section. This is the first report of a human isolate of S. caprae in association with puerperal sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis.
