Main causes of PPH are represented by 4Ts (tone 70%, tissue 20%, trauma 10%, and thrombin <1%) which should be checked during management, and treatment should be directed accordingly. Uterine atony is the most common cause of PPH, and others include genital tract trauma, uterine rupture, retained placental tissue, and maternal coagulation ...

2017年4月1日 · Appropriate management of postpartum hemorrhage requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. The Four T's mnemonic can be used to identify and address the four most common causes of postpartum...

2024年11月12日 · Most cases of PPH happen within 30 to 60 minutes of giving birth. What are the four Ts of postpartum hemorrhage? The causes of postpartum hemorrhage are often called the four Ts (tone, trauma, tissue and thrombin). The following conditions or factors summarize the most common causes of PPH: Uterine a’T’ony.

2023年6月26日 · • The 4 T's of postpartum hemmorrage refer to the causes, which include: tone (uterine atony), trauma (laceration), tissue (retained placenta), and thrombin (coagulopathies). • Future technology seeks to identify postpartum hemorrhage earlier with the help of wearable devices capable of monitoring a patient’s hemodynamic state.

2024年7月19日 · Primary PPH occurs within 24 hours postpartum, while secondary PPH happens up to 12 weeks later. Causes, summarized by the 4 "T's" (tone, trauma, tissue, thrombin), require prompt intervention. Management involves an interprofessional approach, emphasizing accurate blood loss assessment, fluid replacement, and source control.

PPH results from any one or combination of four processes (remembered by the acronym of “4Ts”): atony of the uterus (tone), retained placenta (tissue), trauma of the genital tract (trauma), and coagulation disorders (thrombin).

The definition of early postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is “Cumulative blood loss of ≥1000ml or bleeding associated with signs or symptoms of hypovolemia within 24h following the birth process regardless of mode of delivery”. PPH is an increasing cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.

2024年4月18日 · The four Ts mnemonic highlights the most common causes of PPH: tone (uterine atony, by far the most frequent cause); trauma (obstetric lacerations/expanding hematomas/uterine rupture); tissue (retained products of conception or placenta accreta spectrum disorders); and thrombin (acquired or inherited coagulopathy).

2020年10月26日 · The causes of primary PPH are often referred to as the “four T’s”: 1,3. Tone: an atonic (not well contracted) uterus accounts for up to 80% of cases of primary PPH. Trauma: injury as a result of childbirth, most commonly perineal tears, lacerations and/or episiotomy. Tissue: retained products of conception (e.g. retained placenta).

Understanding the causes of PPH is crucial for effective prevention and management. The primary causes can be remembered by the "4 Ts": Tone. Uterine atony, or the failure of the uterus to contract effectively after delivery, is the leading cause of PPH.
