| Sumario: | Objective: To describe the main clinical characteristics of women submitted to obstetric hysterectomy due to postpartum hemorrhage. Methods: descriptive-exploratory study, with a quantitative approach and documentary character. The following inclusion criteria were adopted: medical records of women who gave birth via vaginal delivery or cesarean section and aged 18 years or over; who have undergone an obstetric hysterectomy due to postpartum hemorrhage; and submitted to the surgical procedure from January 2018 to June 2022. Therefore, only 15 medical records met the criteria. Results: cesarean section was the main mode of delivery (93.3%) and fetal distress was the main indication for this route (21.4%). Postpartum hemorrhage was classified as primary (93.3%) and had uterine atony as the main cause (86.6%). Subtotal hysterectomy was the most used surgical technique (93.3%) and the mean time from fetal expulsion to obstetric hysterectomy was 6.4 hours. Conclusion: This study made it possible to highlight the importance of the topic addressed, since postpartum hemorrhage is one of the main causes of maternal mortality worldwide. Therefore, knowing the clinical profile of these women is essential to provide quality care, in addition to offering subsidies for protocols and future research. |
