Background. Around 30% of pregnancies conclude in a gestational loss. Most women who suffer a gestational loss become pregnant again. However, mothers who have experienced this situation live the new pregnancy with fear and anxiety. Objective. To perform an update of the main works done in the study of post-traumatic stress and related symptoms during pregnancy after a gestational loss. Method. The Medline database was consulted. Articles published from 2007 to date were selected. Key words related to the topic of study were used. Results. The studies reviewed showed five entities that deserve attention during a pregnancy achieved after a gestational loss: post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, relationship, and relationship with the future child. There is a relationship between the presence of post-traumatic stress and the risk of developing depression and anxiety. Discussion and conclusion. Women who experience perinatal loss, regardless of the type of loss and the gestational age in which it occurs, are at risk of continuing grief, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in later pregnancy. The gestational age and the time elapsed between the perinatal loss and the next pregnancy seem to be the most influential factors in the development of post-traumatic stress sindrome, and symptoms of dysfunctional grief, anxiety, and depression.
Introduction. The loss of a pregnancy puts women at risk of suffering post-traumatic stress disorder. This circumstance can influence a subsequent pregnancy, and the link with the future baby. Objective. The main objective of this work was to identify the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among post-partum women who give birth after having suffered a previous gestational loss and to identify possible relationships between PTSD and the variables studied. Method. An observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. A total of 115 puerperal women who had suffered a previous gestational loss completed questionnaires containing sociodemographic variables, obstetric history, and responses to the Davidson Trauma Scale. Results. A score of 40 was established as a cut-off point in the Davidson Trauma Scale for the identification of PTSD. 21.7% of the participants scored 40 or above. Significant differences were found related to age (p = .030), number of pregnancies (p = .033), and number of gestational losses (p = .001). The probability of PTSD increases significantly in relation to the number of losses. Respondents are 2.55 times (β = .94 p = .027) more likely to suffer PTSD the higher the number of gestational losses suffered. Discussion and conclusion. There are significant differences in the presence of PTSD among puerperal women in terms of age, number of pregnancies, and number of gestational losses. Post-partum women are more likely to suffer PTSD after a gestational loss the higher the number of gestational losses suffered.
Postmortem IVF is a technique by semen is extracted from the deceased man to fertilize the egg of his wife. The objective of this review of the literature is to know and compare the different options of postmortem IVF in several countries. Methodology: literature review in different databases that return a search in English or Spanish with high relevance with the subject to be treated and available in full text as inclusion criteria, being the absence of any of the above exclusion criteria. Outcome: Currently in Spain it is allowed to perform this technique with a number of requirements and under legal conditions, however in other countries there is a lot of discrepancy, some are not allowed to use this technique under any concept, while in others access She is free for every widow woman who wants it within the first hours of the man's death. Discussion: Few countries have a current legislation on postmortem IVF, and very few countries allow the technique to be performed, even with the authorization of the male prior to death. Conclusions: There is a lot of controversy about the legislation in the different countries, so a deeper investigation on this topic would be necessary.
La frecuencia de las gestaciones en mujeres en tratamiento con hemodiálisis está incrementándose en los últimos años. El aumento de fertilidad en estas pacientes se debe a la mejora de la eficacia de la diálisis, junto con el manejo clínico de la insuficiencia renal. Sin embargo, el embarazo de las pacientes hemodializadas sigue siendo un reto, debido a frecuentes complicaciones como la preeclampsia, la prematuridad severa, el polihidramnios, etc. Actualmente, se constata el ascenso de la tasa de supervivencia fetal y la disminución de la morbi-mortalidad materno-fetal. Presentamos el caso de una gestante en tratamiento con hemodiálisis que presenta una amenaza de parto prematuro a la 27+2 semanas de gestación. Se han formulado diagnósticos enfermeros siguiendo la taxonomía NANDA-NOC-NIC, con la finalidad de visibilizar la necesidad de un adecuado plan de cuidados en estas pacientes.
