Abstract

MEADE-TREVINO, Paulo Felipe et al. Non-pneumatic anti-shock garment: A valuable intervention in the management of a patient with an obstetric hemorrhage. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.86, n.3, pp.200-207. ISSN 0300-9041.  https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v86i3.1991.

OBJECTIVE

Conduct a review of the results of the NASG/TANN and its integration into the management of obstetric hemorrhage protocols. Disseminate knowledge of its effectiveness, characteristics, indications, and appropriate use through continuing medical education activities.

METHOD

Research was conducted on the existence of items that meet the following requirements: Reviewed both English and spanish terms associated with the non-pneumatic anti-shock suit (NASG/TANN). Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH). Hemorragia postparto. Obstetric hemorrhage (HO). Hemorragia obstétrica. Hypovolemic shock, Choque hipovolémico, whether published in English or Spanish, with reference to human patients. Analysed all the items found in Spanish and English in the following search engines: PubMed, Cocharne, Embase, Ebsco, and Lilacs; and all that reveal a relation between obstetric hemorrhage and the non-pneumatic anti-shock costume. None has been published in a Mexican journal.

CONCLUSIONS

Obstetric hemorrhage continues to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Innovation and integration of drugs and technology, accompanied by the acquisition of proficiency in their use, have been and are fundamental to the management of maternal complications. There is enough scientific evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of the non-pneumatic anti-shock garment in the management of obstetric hemorrhage; unfortunately, up to the present, little has been implemented in Mexico.
