Abstract

Objective: to identify the prevalence of fetal tocotraumatism and the associated factors that occurred in a reference maternity hospital in the state of Ceará. Method: A retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out. Data were collected using an instrument. Results: Most 108 (63.1%) of tocotraumas occurred in deliveries via the abdominal route. Regarding gender, 101 (59%) were male. The vast majority, 136 (79.5%) were AGA (adequate for gestational age). Regarding the type of trauma, skin injury occurred in (83.6%) of the recorded traumas. There were five (2.9%) Clavicle fractures, one (0.5%) humerus fracture, one (0.5%) Erb-Duchenne palsy type brachial plexus injury. Regarding management, the vast majority (86.5%) of newborns were followed up in the ward. Conclusion: This study allowed us to detect that the prevalence of neonatal tocotraumatism is directly associated with abdominal delivery.
