Resumen
Las complicaciones durante el embarazo y post parto ocupan un lugar importante como causa de muerte materna y el Ecuador al igual que el resto de países latinoamericanos con algunas excepciones tienen una baja cobertura en la atención del postparto durante el evento obstétrico. Muchas de las complicaciones producidas en los partos domiciliarios llegan tarde o no llegan a los centros de atención, haciendo que esta causa de muerte esté directamente ligada a la deficiente calidad de atención en el embarazo parto y post-parto inmediato en las instituciones de salud. Según la OPS, la mortalidad materna representa un grave problema de salud, sus causas son evitables si se actúa con la debida oportunidad. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo descriptivo y longitudinal sobre el riesgo de mortalidad materna en embarazadas en el período de Enero del 2004 a Diciembre del 2008 en el Centro Materno Infantil Saquisilí. En donde se investigó 150 casos a través de variables maternas, con el objetivo de caracterizar y analizar las principales causas de riesgo de la morbilidad y mortalidad materna. Este estudio abarcó a todas las madres que ingresaron a esta casa de salud, cuyos datos fueron obtenidos de la revisión de las Historias Clínicas y registros médicos de defunción. En nuestro estudio se obtuvo como resultados. Un predominio del grupo de edad de 20 a 29 años 67%, baja escolaridad 70%, menos de cinco controles prenatales 41%.La principal causa de morbilidad materna fue la hemorragia postparto con 13 % seguida por el aborto incompleto 4%. En nuestro estudio se evidenció como resultado 8 muertes maternas que representa el 5%, en las que predominó el grupo de edad mayor de 30 años con el 38%, las principales causas de muerte materna en este periodo fueron la hemorragia postparto caracterizado por el 38%, seguida por las Infecciones del postparto 37%,y eclampsia 25%.Llama la atención el 50% de muerte institucional equilibrándose con el 50% de muerte domiciliaria.
