Estudio comparativo de severidad de hemorragia intraventricular en neonatos obtenidos por parto vs césarea en el periodo 2016 - 2017 en el Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil.

Abstract

Objective: Determine the prevalence and association between the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in newborns that have been born by caesarean section and admitted at the neonatals intensive care unit. Determine prevalence in sex and gestational age and their relationship with intraventricular hemorrhage. Methods and Materials: Non-experimental study with retrospective approach and late descriptive analysis within were included all newborns admitted at the neonatals intensive care unit of Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil between January 2016 and December 2017. Results: 161 patients were identified in which we found gestational ages fluctuating among 33 and 40 weeks, average 37, and standard deviation 1.62. Caesarean section 116 (72.06%) from 161 studied; 86 (53,40%) male subjects and 75 (46.28%) female. 137 subjects were reported with some grade of intraventricular hemorrhage. Conclusion: Caesarean section neither vaginal delivery had shown to be determinant at the installment of intraventricular hemorrhage. Gestational age has no influence over incidence, but greater grade of intraventricular hemorrhage.
