Resumen

Objetivo: dar a conocer a los participantes en el cuidado de la salud de la mujer embarazada, los más recientes avances y recomendaciones clínicas de un tema controversial que es causa importante de morbimortalidad perinatal en Colombia.

Metodología: se revisaron las bases de datos Cochrane, Medline y Embase, además de la base latinoamericana SciELO, libros de la especialidad y consensos de otras sociedades científicas en búsqueda de estudios diagnósticos, revisiones sistemáticas, estudios aleatorizados y metaanálisis relativos a los términos: “restricción de crecimiento intrauterino” y “pequeño para la edad gestacional” en el período comprendido entre 1995-2009. A partir de esto, se realizó un manuscrito inicial, el cual fue sometido a discusión por medio de Internet. Posteriormente, el manuscrito final fue discutido y modificado en la ciudad de Medellín (Colombia), en el marco del congreso de Medicina Fetal S.A. en septiembre de 2008.

Resultados: teniendo en cuenta la evidencia disponible, se presentó una guía para el manejo del feto PEG y con RCIU, la cual puede ser aplicada a Colombia.

Conclusiones: este tema genera controversia debido a la falta de evidencia científica para la aplicación de algunas definiciones y pruebas diagnósticas en su manejo.
