[Reserves in decreasing maternal mortality due to obstetrical hemorrhages].
Analysis of 542 lethal cases at pregnancy terms 28 weeks and more, of parturients and puerperae in Russia over 1987-1991 has shown that obstetrical bleedings were responsible for 42.2% of deaths, being the most frequent causes of lethal outcomes. Analysis of records documenting 283 lethal cases has shown a high incidence of somatic (90.9%) and obstetrical diseases (95.5%). Assessment of medica care quality has shown inadequate care of pregnant women and parturients and inadequate emergency care. Prevention of massive blood loss should involve hemostasis studies in pregnant women and parturients and its correction; if a bleeding occurs, comprehensive intensive care and surgical interventions are indicated.
