Justificativa e objetivo: O manejo hemodinâmico na pré-eclâmpsia grave (PEG) permanece um desafio, especialmente a reposição volêmica durante a cesariana. A sobrecarga de volume pode levar a edema agudo de pulmão, enquanto a restrição hídrica pode exacerbar a falência orgânica, como a injúria renal aguda (IRA). O objetivo do estudo foi a avaliação de IRA pósoperatória em pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia grave submetidas à cesariana, comparando pacientes que receberam estratégia restritiva, com os pacientes que receberam estratégia liberal de hidratação intraoperatória. Métodos: Um total de 46 pacientes foram randomizados em dois grupos de acordo com a hidratação durante a cesariana: liberal (1500 mL de ringer lactato, n = 23); e restritivo (250 mL de ringer lactato, n = 23). Liberada dieta irrestrita 8 horas após a cirurgia. A disfunção renal pós-operatória foi estratificada pelos críterios de Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) modificados. Cistatina C e lipocalina associada à gelatinase de neutrófilos (NGAL) foram avaliadas no período pré-operatório imediato, no primeiro e no segundo dia pós-operatório (PO). Resultados: IRA pós-operatória ocorreu em 43,5% dos pacientes em cada um dos grupos. O débito urinário intraoperatório foi maior no Grupo Liberal do que no Grupo Restritivo (116 mL/h versus 80 mL/h, p = 0,032). Em ambos os grupos, a cistatina C foi significativamente menor no 2º PO do que no 1º PO (p = 0,006). No Grupo Liberal, os níveis de NGAL permaneceram inalterados ao longo do período analisado. No Grupo Restritivo, houve aumento de NGAL no 1º PO em relação ao pré-operatório (p = 0,005), seguida por diminuição no 2º PO em relação ao 1º PO (p = 0,006). Conclusão: A ocorrência de IRA pós-operatória em pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia grave parece não ser dependente da estratégia de hidratação intraoperatória utilizada / Background and objectives: Hemodynamic management in severe preeclampsia remains a challenge, especially for fluid replacement during cesarean section. Volume overload can lead to acute pulmonary edema, whereas volume restriction can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative AKI in patients with severe preeclampsia who underwent cesarean section, comparing patients who received restrictive fluid therapy with those who received liberal fluid therapy. Methods A total of 46 patients were randomized into two groups according to fluid therapy during cesarean section: liberal (1500 mL of lactated Ringer\'s, n = 23); and restrictive (250 mL of lactated Ringer\'s, n = 23). Unrestricted diet 8 hours after surgery. Postoperative renal dysfunction was stratified using modified AKI Network classification. Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinaseassociated lipocalin (NGAL) were evaluated in the immediate preoperative period, postoperative (PO) days 1 and 2. Results: Postoperative AKI occurred in 43.5% of the patients in each of the groups. Intraoperative urine output was higher in the liberal group than in the restrictive group (116 mL/h versus 80 mL/h, p = 0.032). In both groups, serum cystatin C was significantly lower on PO2 than on PO1 (p = 0.006). In the liberal group, NGAL levels remained unchanged throughout the analyzed period. In the restrictive group, NGAL levels were significantly higher on PO1 than in the preoperative period (p = 0.005), although they subsequently dropped, being significantly lower on PO2 than on PO1 (p =0.006). Conclusion: The occurrence of postoperative AKI in patients with severe pre-eclampsia does not appear to be dependent on the type of intraoperative fluid therapy used

A melhor via de parto para o nascimento de gestações gemelares permanece controverso. Existe pouca informação na literatura sobre as complicações puerperais maternas destas gestações. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as complicações puerperais maternas de acordo com a via de partos em gestações gemelares e estabelecer fatores de risco associados. Métodos: trata-se de estudo retrospectivo do parto de gestações gemelares, ocorridas no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, entre 1993 a 2008, com idade gestacional superior a 26 semanas. As vias de parto definidas foram: parto vaginal, cesárea eletiva e cesárea urgente. Gestações com gêmeos unidos ou partos combinados não foram incluídas na análise. A análise multivariada foi realizada para a determinação de fatores preditivos de complicação materna. Os riscos relativos e intervalos de confiança 95% (ic95%) foram calculados. Resultados: foram observadas 90 complicações maternas em 56/ 817 (6.9%) partos, sendo: 7/131 (5,3%) após parto vaginal, 10/251 (4,0%) após cesárea eletiva e 10/251 (9,0%) após cesárea urgente (p=0,03) . As complicações maternas foram significativamente associadas com gestações de alto risco (r=0,16, p<0.001), idade gestacional do parto (r=-0,09, p=0.01) e via de parto (r=0.05, p=0.13). A melhor fórmula foi descrita como 0.286 + (0.018 * via de parto) - (0.008 * idade gestacional do parto) + (0.104 * gestação de alto risco) (r=0.20). A predição de complicações maternas pela idade gestacional de nascimento mostrou uma área sob a curva ROC de 0,61 (ic95%=0,51- 0,71). A análise de risco relativo revelou que foram significativos os partos realizados abaixo de 32sem, com risco relativo(RR) de 1,82 (IC95%: 1,03- 3,29) , abaixo de 33sem, RR 1,82 (IC95%:1,06-3,08) e a gestação de alto risco ,RR= 3,29 (IC95%: 1,99-5,36). A presença de complicações puerperais foi maior após uma cesárea urgente, quando comparada com a cesárea eletiva , RR= 2,34 (IC95%:1,21-4,57). Conclusão: complicações puerperais maternas estão relacionadas com gestação de alto risco, partos em idade gestacional precoce e cesarianas urgentes / The optimal route of delivery of twin gestations is a matter of controversy.There is a lack of data in literature regarding maternal delivery complications in these pregnancies. The objective of this study is to examine maternal postpartum complications according to delivery mode in twin pregnancies and investigate associated factors. Methods: retrospective review of all twin pregnancies, with more than 26weeks gestational age, that delivered between 1993 and 2008 at Hospital das Clínicas, São Paulo University Medical School. Delivery mode subgroups were defined as: vaginal, elective and emergency cesarean sections. Pregnancies with conjoined twins and combined deliveries were not included in the analysis. Stepwise regression analysis was used to investigate significant predictors of maternal postpartum complications. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: Ninety maternal pospartum complications were observed in 56/817 (6.9%) deliveries: 7/131 (5.3%) vaginal, 10/251 (4.0%) elective cesarean sections and 39/435 (9.0%) emergency cesareans (p=0.03). Maternal complications were significantly associated with high-risk pregnancies (r=0.16, p<0.001), gestational age at birth (r=-0.09, p=0.01), and mode of delivery (r=0.05, p=0.13). The best-fit formula was described by 0.286 + (0.018 * mode of delivery) - (0.008 * gestational age at delivery) + (0.104 * high-risk pregnancy) (r=0.20). Prediction of maternal complications according to gestational age at delivery demonstrated an ROC curve area of 0.61 (95% confidence interval CI= 0.51 0.71). The likelihood of complications was increased for deliveries before 32 weeks (RR= 1.86, 95%CI= 1.03 3.29), before 33 weeks (RR= 1.82, 95%CI= 1.06 3.08) and for high-risk pregnancies (RR= 3.29, 95%CI= 1.99 5.36). Occurrence of complications was significantly increased in emergency cesarean compared to elective sections (RR= 2.34, 95%CI= 1.21 4.57).Conclusion: Maternal postpartum complications in twin pregnancies are related to preexisting complications, earlier gestational age and emergency cesarean deliveries

The objectives was identify economic, genetic and environment risk factors that are associated with overweight and obesity children at six years old. The research included all the children that birth in each from 10 hospitals of the city at 2004 year. The maternal hospital was visited a long period of two consecutive months, accord draw. Stander Inquiries was done after signing an informed consent. The classification to nutrition child was determinate from z-score of BMI graphics, have defined overweight/obesity that BMI ? +1 z-score. Stratified hierarchical statistical analysis, qui-quadratic test, p value, was considered significant values equivalent or minor of 5% with confidence interval (CI) of 95%. Logistic multivariate regression followed hierarchical levels. Overweight and obesity prevalence was 15,6% and 12,9% respective. The regress logistic analyses evidenced factors associated with final predictor maternal obesity for breastfeeding group. Children not breastfeeding had predictors as maternal obesity, father obesity, mother instruction level and cesarean delivery at the end of analysis. This study confirms the interaction of several factors to overweight and obesity, with genetics and environments factors. Early factors in the life were strongly with obesity than the neonatal predictors. There is important in the prevention of the obesity, modifier risk factors like breastfeeding practice and natural delivery. More research needs to investigate the association between cesarean delivery and excess BMI. / Estudo de coorte de nascidos vivos o qual pesquisou 672 duplas de m?es e filhos do nascimento aos 72 meses de vida.

Orientador: Cristina Maria Garcia de Lima Parada / Resumo: Introdução: Na literatura científica, estudos relacionam as cesáreas ao aumento do risco de morbimortalidade materna e infantil. Além dos possíveis desfechos negativos observados no período perinatal, a literatura tem apontado, também, efeitos deletérios na primeira infância para crianças nascidas por operação cesariana, tais como: desmame precoce, asma, alergia e alterações de crescimento. Porém, com exceção do aleitamento materno e da asma, há viés na maioria dos registros, visto que não há a devida discriminação entre os desfechos relacionados às cesáreas indicadas e as cesáreas eletivas. A tese a ser explorada diz respeito aos efeitos adversos da cesárea no período perinatal e primeiro ano de vida, quando realizada sem indicação precisa, tendo como hipótese: os desfechos da cesárea eletiva são negativos no período perinatal e no primeiro ano de vida quando comparados aos mesmo desfechos do parto vaginal. Objetivos específicos: três estudos foram desenvolvidos, sendo que o primeiro, tem por objetivo classificar os tipos de partos de acordo com três referências: Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia (FEBRASGO), Ministério da Saúde (Comissão Nacional de Incorporação de Tecnologia no Sistema Único de Saúde – CONITEC) e revisão de literatura especialmente conduzida para tal finalidade e comparar os desfechos perinatais e no primeiro ano de vida associados a essas classificações; o segundo objetiva verificar o efeito da cesárea eletiva sobre os desfe...

In addition to the possible negative outcomes observed in the perinatal period, the literature has also pointed out deleterious effects in early childhood for children born by cesarean section, such as early weaning, asthma, allergy and growth disorders. However, with the exception of breastfeeding and asthma, there are biases in most registries, since there is no proper discrimination between outcomes related to indicated cesarean sections and elective cesarean sections. The thesis to be explored concerns the adverse effects of cesarean section in the perinatal period and first year of life, when performed without precise indication, with the hypothesis: elective cesarean outcomes are negative in the perinatal period and in the first year of life when compared to vaginal delivery outcomes. Specific objectives: three studies were developed, the first of which aims to classify the types of deliveries according to three references: Brazilian Federation of Associations of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FEBRASGO), Ministry of Health (National Commission for the Incorporation of Unitary Health System - CONITEC) and literature review conducted for this purpose and to compare the perinatal outcomes and in the first year of life associated with these classifications; the second objective was to verify the effect of elective cesarean sectio...

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Objetivos: avaliar a influÃncia da via de parto sobre os resultados perinatais, em mulheres que tiveram parto prematuro (PP); avaliar caracterÃsticas demogrÃficas e obstÃtricas como determinantes da via de parto. Sujeitos e mÃtodos: estudo transversal, a partir dos prontuÃrios de mulheres que tiveram PP, acompanhadas no ServiÃo de Medicina Materno-Fetal da Maternidade-Escola Assis Chateaubriand â Universidade Federal do CearÃ. Foram analisadas 195 gestantes e os 195 recÃm-nascidos (RNs) oriundos dessas gestaÃÃes, Ãnicas, sem complicaÃÃes clÃnicas maternas, fetais e obstÃtricas, apresentando idade gestacional (IG) entre 22 e 36 semanas e seis dias e com peso fetal igual ou acima de 500 gramas. As caracterÃsticas demogrÃficas e obstÃtricas e os resultados perinatais foram avaliados na populaÃÃo geral e em cada grupo (partos vaginal e abdominal), sendo posteriormente comparados entre si. Para a avaliaÃÃo estatÃstica comparativa entre os dois grupos, utilizou-se o teste de Mann-Whitney. O cÃlculo da razÃo de risco ajustado foi realizado atravÃs do software SAS versÃo 9.1.3 e atravÃs de RegressÃo LogÃstica e Multivariada. Todos foram considerados estatisticamente significantes quando p<0.05. Resultados: a maioria das gestantes (81.5%) foi admitida em trabalho de parto prematuro (TPP) ativo espontÃneo e 43.1% apresentaram bolsa rota. Agentes tocolÃticos e corticosteroides foram usados, respectivamente, em 41.6% e 58.3% das mulheres em prÃdromo de TPP e a maioria dos partos (74.4%) ocorreu por via vaginal. No momento do parto, a IG mÃdia foi 32.6 semanas. Quando os dois grupos foram comparados, o prÃdromo de TPP, a bolsa rota e a administraÃÃo de tocolÃticos e corticoides aumentaram, significativamente, o risco de cesÃrea (RRs 6.10, 1.64, 1.95 e 1.82, respectivamente), enquanto o TPP ativo diminuiu, significativamente, esse risco (RR 0.16, IC 95% - 0.11 a 0.25). O peso mÃdio dos RNs foi 1873g, sendo classificados como adequados para IG em 76.7%. Necessitaram de internamento em UTI 62.1% dos casos, 21% usaram surfactante, 90.8% necessitaram de ventilaÃÃo mecÃnica, 4.6% apresentaram tocotraumatismos e o Ãndice de Ãbito neonatal foi de 8.7%. Quando se compararam os dois grupos, a cesÃrea aumentou, significativamente, a chance do Ãndice de Apgar ao 5Â minuto ser &#8805; 7 (RR 1.06, IC 95% - 1.01 a 1.13). ApÃs regressÃo logÃstica de COX, ajustada para fatores que poderiam influenciar nos resultados perinatais, nÃo foram observadas diferenÃas estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos. ConclusÃes: nÃo foram encontradas diferenÃas estatisticamente significativas nos resultados perinatais entre RNs de partos vaginal e abdominal de mulheres que tiveram parto prematuro. Quanto Ãs caracterÃsticas obstÃtricas, o prÃdromo de TPP, a bolsa rota e o uso de agentes tocolÃticos e corticoides aumentaram, significativamente, o risco de cesÃrea, enquanto o TPP ativo diminuiu, significativamente, esse risco. / Objectives: to evaluate the influence of route of delivery on perinatal outcomes, in women who had preterm delivery; to evaluate demographic and obstetric characteristics as determinants of mode of delivery. Subjects and methods: it is a cross-sectional study from the charts of women who had preterm delivery, followed in the Service of Maternal-Fetal Medicine of Maternidade-Escola Assis Chateaubriand â Universidade Federal do CearÃ. There were analyzed 195 pregnant women and 195 newborns coming from these singleton pregnancies, without clinical maternal, fetal and obstetric complications, presenting gestational age between 22 and 36 weeks and six days and fetal weight equal or above 500 grams. Demographic and obstetric characteristics and perinatal outcomes were evaluated in the general population and in each group (vaginal and abdominal delivery), being later compared with each other. For comparative statistical analysis among the two groups, it was utilized the Mann-Whitney test. The calculation of the reason of adjusted risk was accomplished through the software SAS version 9.1.3 and through Logistical and Multinomial Regression. All were considered statistically significant when p < 0.05. Results: the majority of pregnant women (81.5%) was admitted in active spontaneous preterm labor and 43.1% had premature rupture of the membranes. Tocolytic agents and corticosteroids were used, respectively, in 41.6% and 58.3% of women in false preterm labor and most of deliveries (74.4%) happened by vaginal route. At the moment of delivery, the average gestational age was 32.6 weeks. When the two groups were compared, false preterm delivery, premature rupture of the membranes and the administration of tocolytic drugs and corticosteroids increased, significantly, the risk of cesarean section (RRs 6.10, 1.64, 1.95 e 1.82, respectively), while the active preterm delivery decreased, significantly, this risk (RR 0.16, 95% CI - 0.11 a 0.25). The mean weight of the newborns was 1873g and they were classified as appropriate for gestational age in 76.7%. They needed for admission to the intensive care unit in 62.1% of cases, 21% required surfactant, 90.8% needed mechanic ventilation, 4.6% presented neonatal injury and the index of neonatal death was 8.7%. When the two groups were compared, the cesarean section significantly increased the chance of the Apgar score at 5Â minute to be &#8805; 7 (RR 1.06, 95% CI - 1.01 a 1.13). After logistic regression of COX adjusted for factors that could influence perinatal outcomes, had not been observed statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions: it had not been found statistically significant differences in perinatal outcomes among newborns of vaginal delivery and cesarean section in women who had preterm delivery. Regarding obstetric characteristics, false preterm delivery, premature rupture of the membranes and the use of tocolytic agents and corticosteroids increased, significantly, the risk of cesarean section while the active preterm delivery decreased, significantly, this risk.

However, little is known about this pain in the preoperative period of cesarean section, one of the surgeries performed more frequently in the global surgical setting. The aim of the study was to identify the prevalence, characteristics and factors associated with pain in the preoperative period immediately prior to cesarean section. This was a cross-sectional analysis of data from the baseline of research matrix, cohort study, open and prospective, the data of which were collected in the wards and apartments of a private hospital, contracted to the Health Unic System (SUS), of the city of Goiânia, Brazil. The recruitment of women (n = 1082) was made between February 2014 and July 2015. The study sample consisted of 877 women. The outcome variable investigated was the report of any pain reported by women in the immediate preoperative period. The pain characteristics include intensity, measured by means of numeric pain scale of 11 points (END) which allows the intensity measured by numbers representing the amount of pain felt (zero (0) = no pain; 1 , 2.3 and 4 = mild pain; 5:06 = moderate pain, 7.8 and 9 = severe pain, and ten (10) = worst possible pain), location; onset and duration of painful episodes. The associated variables were: symptoms of anxiety and depression, assessed through the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), as well as sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral variables and health related conditions. For the statistical analysis, logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with preoperative pain. In the multivariate analysis, variables that presented p-values <0,10 were included. For all tests p-values <.05 were considered significant. The prevalence of preoperative pain was 27.5% (CI: 95%:24.6-30.5). The locations most mentioned by the women included the lower back (29.9%), pelvic/genital region (22.4%) and head (12.9%). The pain appeared with more prevalence in the final trimester of pregnancy (37.8%), being considered by the majority of the participants as a daily complaint (68.5%). The intensity was classified as strong in 44.8% of cases. Preoperative pain was associated with pregnancyrelated pain (OR: 3.50; 2.23-5.252) and symptoms of anxiety (OR: 1.61; 1.14-2.28; p=.006). The evaluation of pain in the preoperative period should include negative aspects, such as anxiety, in order to use therapies for its management proper. In the prenatal care, it is essential to evaluate the characteristics of pain that arises after the confirmation of the pregnancy, in order to implement strategies to avoid prolonged contact with this experience and consequent impairments in the postoperative period. Nurses are responsible for part of this mission, together with obstetric nurses, who can and should fulfill their role as promoters of health / Relatos de dor no período pré-operatório são frequentes e podem sofrer influência de fatores socioeconômicos, clínicos, psicológicos e de comportamentos e condições de saúde. No entanto, pouco se conhece sobre a dor referida no período pré-operatório de cesariana, uma das cirurgias realizadas com maior frequência no cenário cirúrgico mundial. O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar a prevalência, as características e os fatores associados à dor referida no período pré-operatório imediato de cesariana. Trata-se de análise transversal de dados da linha de base da pesquisa matriz, tipo coorte, aberta e prospectiva, cujos dados foram colhidos nas enfermarias e apartamentos de um hospital privado, conveniado ao Sistema único de Saúde, no município de Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil. O recrutamento das mulheres (n=1082) foi feito entre fevereiro de 2014 e julho de 2015. A amostra deste recorte compôsse de 877 mulheres. A variável de desfecho investigada foi o relato de qualquer dor referida pelas mulheres no período pré-operatório imediato. As características da dor incluíram a intensidade, mensurada por meio da Escala Numérica de Dor de 11 pontos (END), a qual permite a medida da intensidade por meio de números que representam a quantidade de dor sentida (0 (zero)=nenhuma dor; 1,2,3 e 4=dor leve; 5 e 6=dor moderada; 7,8 e 9=dor forte; e 10 (dez)=pior dor possível), localização; início e duração dos episódios dolorosos. As variáveis de associação foram: sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, avaliados por meio da Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS), além de variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas, comportamentos e condições relacionados à saúde. Para análise estatística, foi utilizada a regressão logística a fim de identificar os fatores associados à dor pré-operatória. Na análise multivariada, as variáveis que apresentaram valores de p<0,10, foram incluídas. Valores de p<0,05 foram considerados significativos para todos os testes. A prevalência de dor pré-operatória foi de 27,5% (IC:95%:24,6-30,5). Os locais mais referidos pelas mulheres incluíram a região lombar (29,9%), pélvica/genital (22,4%) e cabeça (12,9%). A dor apareceu com maior prevalência no último trimestre de gestação (37,8%), sendo considerada pela maioria das participantes como uma queixa diária (68,5%). A intensidade foi classificada como forte em 44,8% dos casos. Dor pré-operatória esteve associada com dor relacionada à gestação (OR:3,50; 2,23-5,252) e sintomatologia para ansiedade (OR:1,61;1,14-2,28; p=0,006). A avaliação da dor no período pré-operatório inclui comportamentos negativos como a ansiedade, com vistas à utilização de terapêuticas para o adequado manejo. No pré- natal é fundamental a avaliação da dor que surgiu após a constatação da gravidez e suas características, a fim de implementar estratégias que contribuam na redução de convívio com essa experiência e, consequentemente, com os prejuízos no pós-operatório. Ao enfermeiro cabe parte dessa missão, juntamente com as enfermeiras obstetrizes, que podem e devem ocupar seu papel de promotoras da saúde.

No Brasil, a saúde, como direito do cidadão e dever do Estado, é garantida pela constituição de 1998. Em 1983 foi criado o PAISM, propondo a perspectiva de atendimento integral à saúde da mulher, com o objetivo de considerar, no âmbito da saúde, também o entorno social, emo cional e psicológico da mulher, bem co mo as questões relacionadas à contra cepção. No entanto, sua implantação ainda não se realizou efetivamente até o momento atual, o que pode ser observa do pela alta prevalência de gestações indesejadas, dificuldade de acesso a informações sobre planejamento familiar, predomínio da esterilização cirúrgica feminina como método contraceptivo e da cesárea como via de parto, aspectos que ferem os direitos sexuais e reprodu tivos das mulheres. Um novo contexto tem se desenhado a partir da implanta ção da Lei 9 263, que regulamenta o planejamento familiar, e pela qual a este rilização cirúrgica é aprovada e passa a ser ofertada pelo sistema público de saúde, o que,por sua vez, permite a desvinculação da esterilização com o parto. O presente estudo tem por objeti vo conhecer as características das mu lheres que se esterilizaram pelo SUS, em Ribeirão Preto, entre 2000 e 2004, segun do o tipo de parto, cesárea e parto vagi nal. A amostra foi composta por 235 mulheres esterilizadas nos primeiros cinco anos de oferta da esterilização cirúrgica (2000-2004). Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas domici liares, utilizando-se questionário estrutu rado. Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria das mulheres esterilizadas era branca, casada, com escolaridade até o ensino fundamental e pertencia à catego ria socioeconômica C e D. A maioria foi esterilizada entre 30 e 39 anos de ida de, com média de 33,3 e mediana de 33 anos, 52,3% faziam uso da pílula como método contraceptivo antes da esteriliza ção. Elas têm, em média, 3,2 filhos e 51,7% teve o primeiro filho entre 13 e 19 anos de idade. Este estudo indicou que as mulheres esterilizadas, em sua maioria, têm mais filhos, começaram a ter filhos mais cedo, usaram mais contra ceptivos enquanto esperavam pela cirurgia e se esterilizaram mais tarde quando comparadas aos resultados de outros estudos. Em relação ao tipo de parto, 71,2% dos partos ao longo da trajetória reprodutiva dessas mulheres foram vaginais, enquanto 28,8% cesáre as, o que aponta para o importante aspecto da desvinculação da esteriliza ção com a cesárea, como objetiva a Lei, e que essas mulheres que tiveram, em sua maioria, partos vaginais, estão tendo melhor acesso à esterilização. / The Brazilian Constitution of 1998 guarantees that health is a citizen right and a duty of the State. The PAISM (Women Health Comprehensive Program) was created emphasizing a comprehensive approach aiming to consi der the social, emotional and psychologi cal issues as part of health condition as well as contraception. However its imple mentation has not been completed up to now. This can be observed by the high prevalence of unwanted pregnancies, difficult access to family planning information, predominance of female surgical sterilization as a contraceptive method and the cesarean section. All these aspects are obstacles to sexual and reproductive rights. Since the implementation of the Federal Legal Act 9263 which regulates Family Planning Provision and approves surgical steriliza tion offering it in the public health system it is possible a disconnection between birth delivery and the surgical procedu re of sterilization. The objective of this study is to know the characteristics of women sterilized by SUS (Unified Health System) in Ribeirão Preto, betwen 2000 and 2004, according to the type of delive ry, cesarean or vaginal. The sample in cludes 235 sterilized women during the first five years of the surgical sterilizati on provision (2000-2004) Data was col lected through household interviews using a structured questionnaire. The results showed that the most sterilized women were white, married, with 8 years of schooling or less and belonged to socioeconomic category C or D. They were sterilized between 30 and 39 years old, with the average of 33.3 years old and median age of 33, 52.3% were using oral contraceptives before sterilization. They were found to have an average of 3,2 children and 51.7% had the first child between 13 and 19 years old. This study indicated that steri lized women had more children, started giving birth earlier and used contracepti ves while they waited for the surgery, and were sterilized later when compa red to the results of other studies. As to delivery types, 71,2% of deliveries along the reproductive history of these women were vaginal while 28% were cesarean what points out the important aspect of the disconnection between sterilization and the cesarean, as deter mined by law, and that these women who had mostly vaginal deliveries are having a better access to sterilization.

<p>This study was undertaken to investigate the involutional changes of the uterus and uterine cavity by ultrasound (US), gray-scale and Doppler, after normal delivery, and to compare with the corresponding findings from women with puerperal complications, particularly retained placental tissue (RPT).

Nearly one in three women in the United States undergoes major abdominal surgery in childbirth. According to the World Health Organization, in industrialized countries, the cesarean operation provides no health benefits when rates surpass one in six. In fact, the reverse applies; as a result of cesareans both women and their babies suffer disproportionate morbidity and mortality compared to cases of vaginal births. Furthermore, the decision to perform a cesarean relies mostly on subjective physiological indicators and varies according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the birthing woman. By regressing multiple clinical and sociodemographic factors against the method of birth, this research determines the risk factors of undergoing surgery in childbirth in the U.S. Results reveal medicalized childbirth to be a capricious system where sociodemographic factors determine a woman’s chance of major abdominal surgery.
