| Summary: | Perinatology is understood as the scientific discipline, a branch of obstetrics and pediatrics, which deals with promoting the health of the mother, foetus and new-born during the perinatal period, as well as the clinical study, diagnosis, treatment and research of their diseases. In the canine species (Canis lupus familiaris) the perinatal period is defined as the phase from the last stage of intrauterine foetal development to the end of the neonatal period. There are significant losses in the perinatal period due to mortality, which has led to important advances in knowledge about gestation, delivery, assessment of foetal maturity, prognosis of delivery, caesarean section planning and new-born assessment. In this context, perinatology is an area of canine medicine which is experiencing increasing demand. From a professional perspective, this is challenging in terms of promoting science-based breeding. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review was to review and discuss topics of this novel discipline to contribute to its better understanding. Se entiende perinatología como la disciplina científica, rama de la obstetricia y de la pediatría, que se ocupa de promover durante el periodo perinatal la salud de la madre, del feto y del recién nacido, así como el estudio clínico, el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y la investigación de sus enfermedades. En la especie canina (Canis lupus familiaris) el periodo perinatal se define como la fase desde la última etapa de desarrollo fetal intrauterino hasta el final del periodo neonatal. En el periodo perinatal se producen significativas pérdidas por mortalidad, de allí que se hayan motivado importantes avances en el conocimiento sobre gestación, parto, evaluación de la madurez fetal, pronóstico del parto, planificación de cesárea y evaluación del neonato. En este contexto, la perinatología es un área de la medicina canina que experimenta creciente demanda. Desde una perspectiva profesional, esto constituye un desafío en términos de promover una crianza fundamentada en ... |
