Abstract

Preclampsia, is a pathology that continues to cause maternal and neonatal deaths throughout the world, especially in the third world, despite the efforts in medical research we do not have an accurate knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease and if it is possible to predict or prevent it , the national guidelines that seek to reduce maternal fetal death are confusing and decontextualized.

The knowledge we have about this disease is that published in first world countries, we do not have research specifically affected and financed in Latin America and this knowledge is not applicable in countries without economic or technological resources.

The objective is to conduct a bibliographic review on the subject and contextualize this knowledge for Latin American countries.

Method

We use the method of critical reading is the reading done in an analytical way. This means that in addition to understanding what is said in a given text, we try to analyze what has been expressed to verify its successes, its errors and the ways in which the information is presented. It seeks to have a vision of the facts that are attempted, try to corroborate what is claimed with other sources.
