Neonatal Outcomes in Preterm Severe Preeclampsia as Compared to Other Etiologies of Prematurity [25K]

Abstract

ability to estimate blood loss. All data were analyzed using chi square test.RESULTS: Underestimation was significantly higher at cesarean, occurring 65% versus 39% of the time at vaginal delivery (P5.002). Contrary to our hypothesis, overestimation was significantly higher at vaginal delivery, occurring 51% versus 33% of the time at cesarean (P5.007). Differences in resident versus attending ability to estimate blood loss did not reach statistical significance.CONCLUSION: Physicians significantly overestimated blood loss at vaginal delivery, and significantly underestimated blood loss at cesarean delivery. There was no difference in resident versus attending ability to estimate blood loss.
