Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage is defined as excessive blood loss greater than or equal to 1000ml or loss of blood associated with signs of hypovolemia within 24 hours after delivery. According to estimates of the world health organization, includes an approximate number of 515,000 women who die in the world annually due to problems and complications that occur during childbirth. There are different etiologies already identified of this pathology, being the main cause of postpartum hemorrhage the uterine atony, followed by alteration of the coagulation states and cervical and perineal tears. Because this complication continues to be the main cause of maternal mortality worldwide, and the second most important cause of maternal death in Ecuador, this research has been carried out in which the methodology is based on an observational descriptive, non-experimental cohort analysis crosssection, in which the etiological factors causing postpartum hemorrhage were identified.
