POST-TERM GEBELİKLER ve EBELERİN SORUMLULUKLARI

Post-term gebelik, 42 ve üzeri gebelik haftasına kadar devam eden gebelikler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Post-term gebeliklerde fetal, neonatal ve maternal olarak pek çok komplikasyon ortaya çıkmaktadır. Dünyada post-term gebelik insidansı %1 ile %10 arasında değişmektedir. Post-term gebelik insidansının tüm dünyada değişiklik göstermesinin sebebi ise kullanılan rutin bir kılavuzun olmaması ve obstetrik uygulamaların ülkeden ülkeye farklılık göstermesidir. Bu derlemenin amacı; öncelikle post-term gebeliğin tanımı, tanımlanmasında kullanılan kavramlar, dünyada ve ülkemizde görülme sıklıkları, bu alanda yapılan güncel araştırmalardan bahsedilerek post-term gebenin bakımında ebelerin üzerine düşen rol ve sorumluluklar mevcut çalışmalar ışığında gözden geçirmektir.
