They are on guard duty day and night. To carry out this work, we set ourselves the objectives of: 1) Studying digestive surgical emergencies in the general surgery department of the “Mother Child” Le Luxembourg hospital in Bamako, Mali;2) Determine the frequency of digestive surgical emergencies, 3) Describe the clinical and therapeutic aspects, and 4) Analyze the results of treatment. From November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023, the general surgery department of the “Mother Child” Luxembourg Hospital Center in Bamako, Mali, carried out 139 digestive surgical emergencies whose files were usable;75 men and 64 women, a sex ratio of 1.2. The 20 - 40 years old age group was the most represented, at 40.29%. The average age was 39 years;the extremes 16 years and 93 years with a standard deviation of 21.65 years. The reference concerned 51.08% of our patients. Abdominal pain was the main reason for consultation (100% of cases). In the majority of cases, the physical examination made it possible to make the diagnosis. Faced with certain clinical cases, we requested ultrasound (109/139), ASP (46/139) and CT (15/139). The main etiology was acute appendicitis with 42.45% of cases. The frequency of digestive surgical emergencies was 10.71% of all activities in the general surgery department of the “Mère Enfant” Le Luxembourg hospital center in Bamako. All our patients were seen in consultation by an anesthesiologist before entering the operating room. The surgical consequences were complicated in 11.51% of cases with 7.91% deaths. Surgical site infections accounted for 12.5% of postoperative complications. Eleven deaths were noted, representing 68.75% of complications and 7.91% of our sample. Acute peritonitis was the cause of death in 100% of cases. The average cost of care was 329,000 FCFA.展开更多

Patients Methods: This was a qualitative cross-sectional study to assess the quality of prenatal consultation that took place from December 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018. It included 139 pregnant women whose consultations were monitored by the investigator and then the women were interviewed upon discharge from the facility to collect their opinions on the services they received. Results: The age group of 20 to 29 years was the most represented with 60.44%. In our study, 50% of our patients were managed by midwives. Among the antecedents constituting the risk factors sought in pregnant women, scar uterus was more frequent with 33.93% followed by arterial hypertension with 14.28% and multiparity with 7.14%. Conclusion: This study shows that the evaluation of the quality of services is an absolute necessity for the improvement of services in integrated reproductive health care centers.展开更多
