ABSTRACT

Una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad en la mujer gestante es el sangrado que se produce tras el parto. La hemorragia posparto tardía (HPT) es aquel sangrado excesivo que se produce entre las 24 h posteriores al parto y las 12 semanas. Sus causas son multifactoriales y, aunque con frecuencia no compromete la vida de la paciente, puede llegar a hacerlo. Una vez diagnosticada, es necesario un tratamiento rápido y multidisciplinar, restaurando el volumen y monitorizando la respuesta al tratamiento. Presentamos el caso de una paciente que sufrió una HPT en la que se objetivó, tras ser transfundida, la persistencia de anemia mediante determinación de hemoglobina total continua utilizando un cooxímetro de pulso, iniciando la reposición de volumen y hemoderivados ayudados por dicha tecnología. El cuadro se resuelve tras suturar en quirófano un seudoaneurisma de la arteria uterina izquierda responsable de la hemorragia, evolucionando la paciente satisfactoriamente (AU)


One of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women is bleeding after childbirth. Secondary postpartum hemorrhage consists of excessive bleeding occurring between 24 hours and 12 weeks after delivery. Its causes are multifactorial and, although it is rarely life threatening, serious risks may arise. When diagnosed, rapid multidisciplinary treatment is necessary to restore blood volume and monitor treatment response. We report the case of a patient who developed secondary postpartum hemorrhage. After transfusion, determination of continuous total haemoglobin by pulse co-oximetry revealed persistent anemia. Consequently, blood volume replacement was initiated. The case was resolved after surgical suturing of a pseudoaneurysm of the left uterine artery, which had caused the bleeding. The patient subsequently made a good recovery (AU)
