Abstract

Maternal sepsis is a serious complication that occurs during pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium, putting the life of the mother and the fetus at risk. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for better survival rates. Obstetric infections represent the third cause of maternal death, having a higher incidence in developing countries. Objective: Describe the diagnostic strategies during the golden hour in maternal sepsis. Methodology: A review investigation of scientific articles obtained in the following platforms was carried out: Pubmed, Scielo, Google Academic published during the last 5 years. Conclusion: Obstetric sepsis is critical and poses significant challenges for health professionals, from clinical suspicion to accurate diagnosis using valid scales. Each of these stages involves considering physiological and biochemical variables, some of which require the use of advanced technology. Therefore, it is necessary to validate parameters that are easy to apply and do not require a complex technique.
