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.
