[Caesarean at the Gabriel Touré University Hospital of Bamako: factors of morbi-mortality].

Introduction: Following the progress made regarding anesthesia reanimation, caesarean have become a much safer procedure. However, factors of mobi-mortality are still numerous. The main objective of this study was to analyze the factors of morbi-mortality arising during a caesarean.

Patient And Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2007 to December 2011 in the gynecology-obstetric and anesthesia reanimation services of the Gabriel TOURE University Hospital. The analysis looked at the medical files of women undergoing a caesarean and hospitalized in the gynecology-obstetric and anesthesia reanimation services. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS.19 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) and the Epiinfo.7 softwares. Chi tests were performed to compare frequencies where a value of p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: 269 medical files were analysed. Mean age was of 28.46 ± 6.702. The most frequent peroperative morbidity factors were cardiovascular. Death rate was of 5.2%. The most frequent cause of these deaths was eclampsia. Factors influencing morbi-mortalities were iterative caesareans and urgency of the caesarean. The evacuated mothers had presented complications in 37.3% of cases.

Conclusion: The caesarean is a procedure that is not sufficiently safe in our services and there are a lot of factors of mobi-mortality.
