ResumoObjective: To describe blood transfusion practices in obstetric at the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital in Lomé. Patients and method: Prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study, conducted from 1 June 2017 to 31 May 2018 at the gynecology-obstetrics department. The study focused on transfused pregnant, parturient and delivered women. Study parameters were sociodemographic, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic. Results: 252 patients, aged 16 to 49 with an average age of 30.4 years, referred in 74% of cases. Hemorrhage was observed in 238 cases (94.4%) and anemia in 14 cases (5.6%). Blood transfusion was urgently used in 89.7% of cases and hemorrhagic abortion was the main indication. Blood group O+ (34.5%) was the most used and blood products were obtained after two hours in 81% of cases. Conclusion: Blood transfusion is often performed urgently and for bleeding. But the Gynecology-Obstetrics department does not have any blood in reserve, whereas the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital collection and distribution station covers less than 10% of the needs.
