Postterm Pregnancy

Objective: To characterize ultrasound images of placenta and amniotic fluid in cases of singleton pregnancies beyond term predictions, and also explore the relationship between placenta, amniotic fluid and labor transfer status, postpartum child status. Image properties of prenatal placenta and amniotic fluid are immediately examined with ultrasound in 267 cases of postterm pregnancy beyond prediction at Obstetric Department, Hue Central Hospital. Results: In postterm pregnancy, placenta thickness decreases gradually according to gestational age. Oligohydramnios is 30.3%. There is a correlation between amniotic fluid index and birth method with r = 0.41. Sensitivity is 89.15%. Specificity is 48.55%. There is also a correlation between amniotic fluid echogenicity and method of birth: r = 0.478. Sensitivity is 97.67%. Specificity is 42.75%. Amniotic fluid index and baby Clifford's syndrome are also relevant, with r=0.466. Sensitivity is 83.78%. Specificity is 78.26%. Conclusions: Ultrasound scanning of amniotic fluid properties should be noted in the case of postterm pregnancy.

La muestra fue 461 embarazadas adolescentes atendidas en el Hospital “Verdi Cevallos Balda” de la ciudad de Portoviejo durante el 2016. Los resultados de este estudio mostraron que la mayor tasa de embarazo en adolescentes se produjo en primigestas (88,72 %) de 18 años. La desproporción céfalo-pélvica fue el factor materno-fetal que ocupó el primer lugar como causa de cesárea, seguida de factores fetales como distocia de presentación y ruptura prematura de membranas. Palabras clave: Parto espontáneo, cesárea, pretérmino, postérmino, embarazo.
