Lista de comprobación segura de la OMS Parto
De los más de 130 millones de nacimientos que se producen cada año, se estima que 303000 resultan en la muerte de la madre, 2,6 millones en la muerte del feto, y otro 2,7 millones en una muerte del recién nacido en los primeros 28 días de su nacimiento. La mayoría de estas muertes se producen en entornos de bajos recursos y la mayor parte se podría haber evitado.
En respuesta a esta inaceptable situación, se ha lanzado la Lista de comprobación segura para el parto, ha sido desarrollado para apoyar la entrega de las prácticas esenciales de atención materna y perinatal. La lista de verificación aborda las principales causas de muerte materna (hemorragia, infección, parto obstruido y trastornos hipertensivos), nacidos muertos relacionados con el parto-(inadecuada atención durante el parto), y las muertes neonatales (asfixia al nacer, infecciones y complicaciones relacionadas con la prematuridad). Fue desarrollado siguiendo una metodología rigurosa y probada para su uso en diez países de África y Asia.

childbirth in the SDG era. The guideline contains 56 recommendations related to supportive
care throughout labour and childbirth; care during the first, second and third stages of labour;
and immediate care of the woman and newborn after birth.
Kindly share this message with your networks for wide dissemination.

Dear colleagues,
As many of you are aware, in 2017 WHO implemented a new, “living” approach to prioritizing,
developing and updating maternal and perinatal health recommendations. In this new
approach, WHO and the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth editorial team assess potential
changes in the underlying evidence base for those reviews that underpin individual
recommendations.
On 10-11 April 2019, we will convene with the Executive Guideline Steering Group on Maternal
and Perinatal Health Recommendations. The Group will review the findings of these
assessments of the evidence base, and agree on the questions to prioritize for updating in 2019-
2020. The Group will also consider questions that are new or emerging priorities where WHO
would develop a new recommendation.
As members of the network supporting WHO in maternal and perinatal health guideline
development, we would like to invite you to nominate any new questions where you consider a
new WHO recommendation may be warranted.
Questions can be nominated at this
link: https://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/publications/priority-question-
recommendations-mnh/en/ [who.int]
Please feel free to share this with any colleagues or networks.
If you are unsure whether WHO has an existing recommendation for a particular intervention,
you can search on WHO Reproductive Health Library: www.who.int/rhl [who.int]
Kind regards,
Joshua Vogel & Femi Oladapo, on behalf of WHO Steering Group
