Abstract

Abstract:Fetal macrosomia is defined as that newborn with birth weight equal to or greater than 4000 grams. This condition leads to neonatal complications such as metabolic, respiratory and peripheral trauma disorders. It is also associated with a higher rate of births by caesarean section. The perinatal history described include diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, overweight and maternal obesity. A retrospective study was carried out at the Manuel Ygnacio Monteros Hospital (IESS), where the medical records of 2676 newborns were reviewed, 76 infants were found who presented weight greater than or equal to 4000 grams. 76 presented fetal macrosomia. Of these, 78% (n = 59) were male and 22% (n = 17) were female. 50% (n = 38) presented complications, mainly metabolic (jaundice and hypoglycemia), of which 11.84% had a maternal pathological history such as diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension.
