T

he placenta is an indispensable transitory organ, allows the adequate

development of the product of conception. Its dysfunction can cause fetal

complications, intrauterine growth retardation and maternal complications

such as preeclampsia. This study allowed differentiating placental

morphometry and newborn conditions in two hospitals in Imbabura – Ecuador:

qualitative-quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, descriptive and

cross-sectional design, carried out in two groups of women with full-term

pregnancies, without complications. Pregnant women attended at the Ibarra

Hospital were from different ethnic groups; the pregnant women of the Otavalo

Hospital are exclusively indigenous. The stratification of the socioeconomic

level is obtained by applying the INEC survey; anthropometry and morphometry

with the use of digital electronic scales and metric tapes. Among the main

results, the average low socioeconomic level predominates; APGAR

assessment remains in non-compromising ranges, anthropometry as well as

placental morphometry remain within normal parameters; oval placental discs

are predominantly identified in otavaleña mothers. Note that the placental

reasons in both hospitals tend to be abnormally high, presuming diminution

of both placental reserves and optimal fetal growth. Conclusions in Otavalo,

the majority of placentas presented an oval shape, greater weight and greater

size, in comparison with those of the Ibarra canton. Despite the high values

of the placental reasons, the neonates under study were placed on normal

parameters in terms of anthropometry and APGAR. The information obtained

allows us to affirm that the children of indigenous mothers born in Otavalo had

the best physiological morphological characteristics.
