ABSTRACT
Resumen OBJETIVO: determinar el efecto de la aplicación de la sutura compresiva invaginante para control de la hemorragia obstétrica secundaria a atonía uterina. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: estudio retrospectivo, transversal y descriptivo. Expedientes clínicos de pacientes del Hospital de Ginecología y Obstetricia de Ciudad Cuauhtémoc atendidas entre enero 2015 a marzo 2016 a quienes se aplicó la sutura compresiva invaginante como primer procedimiento quirúrgico en hemorragia obstétrica secundaria a atonía, sin respuesta al tratamiento farmacológico. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron medidas de tendencia central y el programa SPSS versión 16.0. RESULTADOS: se identificaron 9 pacientes con edad promedio de 25.1 años (límites 14 y 40), edad gestacional de 37.2 semanas (límites 32 y 40). El sangrado promedio fue de 2033 mL (límites 1800 y 2500 mL). El tiempo promedio de la intervención quirúrgica fue de 49 minutos y el tiempo de colocación de la sutura de 1.8 minutos. La sutura compresiva invaginante fue efectiva como único procedimiento en 8 casos (89%). En un caso se requirieron otros procedimientos (B-Lynch, ligadura de arterias hipogástricas, histerectomía obstétrica). No se identificaron complicaciones a corto plazo asociadas con el procedimiento, ni hubo muertes maternas. CONCLUSIONES: la sutura compresiva invaginante fue efectiva, como primer procedimiento quirúrgico, para controlar la hemorragia obstétrica y sin complicaciones a corto plazo. La cantidad de casos es limitada por lo que no puede descartarse la posibilidad de complicaciones a largo plazo y la necesidad de más estudios.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of the implementation of the invaginant compression suture in the management of obstetric hemorrhage due to uterine atony. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, descriptive, transversal, retrospective study. Medical records from the Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of the city of Cuauhtémoc in Mexico in which the invaginant compression suture was used as a first option in the surgical management of an obstetric hemorrhage due to uterine atony unresponsive to pharmacological treatment, from January 2015 to March 2016. Measures of central tendency were performed for the statistical analysis using the software SPSS, version 16.0. RESULTS: nine patients were identified during the study. The mean age was 25.1 years (14-40y), the mean gestational age was 37.2 weeks (32-40w). The mean of the estimated bleeding was 2033 ml (1800-2500ml). The duration of the surgical procedure was 49 minutes, duration of the suture placement 1.8 minutes (1-3). The invaginant compression suture was effective as the only option in 8 cases (89%). In one case other procedures were required (B-Lynch suture, hypogastric arteries ligation, hysterectomy). There were no complications associated or maternal deaths reported. CONCLUSIONS: The invaginant compression suture was effective as a first surgical option in the management of obstetric hemorrhage in these patients, without short-term complications. There was a limited number of patients and long-term complications can not be ruled out. More studies to evaluate this parameter are required.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To report of experience of intrauterine hydrostatic condom to control obstetric hemorrhage. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Descriptive, retro-prospective study. The method was use in patients who had obstetric hemorrhage and do not responded to medical management during the period from March 1st to August27, 2015 in a rural facility. RESULTS: 955 patients that had a vaginal delivery were identified, 40 (4.1%) of which needed the application of the method. The method was unsuccessful in 2 of 40 patients (5%), one requiring emergency obstetric hysterectomy and other exploratory laparotomy with conservative measures. 11 of 40 patients (2 7.5%) required at least 1-3 globular packs transfusion. None of the 38 patients (95%) who responded to the method presented endometritis in the postpartum follow up or complications associated with the use of hydrostatic condom. CONCLUSION: The use of intrauterine hydrostatic condom is an effective method to control postpartum obstetric hemorrhage secondary to uterine atony unresponsive to medical management.
