What are the 4 T's of PPH?
What are the four most common causes of postpartum hemorrhage? The causes of postpartum hemorrhage are called the four Ts (tone, trauma, tissue and thrombin).
What is the first line management of postpartum hemorrhage?
External uterine massage and bimanual compression are generally used as first-line treatments. These compression techniques encourage uterine contractions that counteract atony and assist with expulsion of retained placenta or clots. Aortic compression is another compression technique that has been used for severe PPH.
What is a postpartum hemorrhage ACOG?
While maternal mortality rates due to postpartum hemorrhage have decreased in the last four decades it still accounts for more than 10 percent of pregnancy-related deaths. Postpartum hemorrhage is excessive bleeding (1,000 mL or greater) within the first 24 hours after birth but can occur up to 12 weeks postpartum.
Is bleeding 24 hours of delivery considered as postpartum hemorrhage?
Primary postpartum hemorrhage is bleeding that occurs in the first 24 hours after delivery, while secondary postpartum hemorrhage is characterized as bleeding that occurs 24 hours to 12 weeks postpartum.
