Posición al dormir de la gestante y su asociación con óbito fetal

Abstract

Fetal death continues to be a condition of great importance worldwide, being one of the scenarios to which special attention and care should be given, with a main focus during prenatal care, in order to objectify the risk factors that they could trigger a fatal outcome for the mother and the fetus, and in the same way modify and prevent them, mainly.

Fetal death has been studied over the years, where it has been concluded that there are modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors related to this condition, so campaigns have been carried out to counteract these conditions and thus obtain a favorable result of pregnancy, with a single objective of reducing the recurrence and incidence of fetal deaths. As previously mentioned, there are multiple factors that directly or indirectly influence the prevalence of death, among which it stands out: race, maternal comorbidities, obesity, smoking, and even in recent years the relationship between the position that the mother adopts when sleeping mainly in the last trimester of pregnancy and the prevalence of stillbirth, for this reason it has been of vital importance to study these types of relationships and to be able to avoid them to prevent this terrible event.
