Abstract “Maternal near miss” means the near death of mothers during pregnancy, childbirth or puerperium. This study aims to analyze the epidemiological profile of women who go through maternal near miss in relation to their characteristics and perinatal outcome in a regional reference hospital, where there are no data record on this topic. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative-exploratory, analytical study, and it was carried out with through surveys of medical records of pregnant and postpartum women who were hospitalized between January and December of 2017. The analysis indicates a reason of maternal near miss of 18.8/1,000 live births, the largest proportion between 20-34 years of age, 75% were black or pardas. 32.7% had hemorrhages, 28.6% had hypertensive diseases, 66.7% premature births. Criteria associated with death were coagulation disorders, loss of consciousness and absence of pulse, massive transfusion, use of vasoactive drugs and orotracheal intubation unrelated to anesthesia. The high ratio of maternal near miss shows the magnitude of this problem at the local level.
