Introduction: the objectives of this study were to calculate the frequency, describe the clinic and management of obstetric emergencies in the maternity ward of the Ignace Deen national hospital. Methods: this was a prospective cross-sectional descriptive study lasting 6 months, from 1 January to 30 June 2019, covering all patients treated for obstetric emergencies in the maternity ward of the Ignace Deen National Hospital during the study period. Results: Obstetric emergencies accounted for 30.48% of consultations during the study period. The average age of patients was 26.30 years, with extremes of 15 and 45 years. Nulliparous women were the most represented with a rate of 34.73%. Emergencies occurred in full-term pregnancies in 71.29% of cases. Acute foetal distress and arterial hypertension and its complications were the main obstetric emergencies encountered, with proportions of 22.65% and 21.36% respectively. Treatment was surgical in 82.73% of cases. Maternal mortality was 5% and foetal mortality 30%. Conclusion: Obstetric emergencies are frequent in our working environment and are the cause of several maternal and perinatal deaths. Measures must be taken to improve monitoring of pregnancies and childbirth, which would make it possible to avoid most obstetric complications.
