2024年11月12日 · Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is severe or excessive bleeding after childbirth. It’s a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. Signs are dizziness, feeling faint and an increase in heart rate. PPH can occur after delivery or up to 12 weeks postpartum. Early detection and prompt treatment can lead to a full recovery.

Primary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the most common form of major obstetric haemorrhage. The traditional definition of primary PPH is the loss of 500 ml or more of blood from the genital tract within 24 hours of the birth of a baby after vaginal birth and 1000 ml after cesarean birth. PPH can be minor (500–1000 ml) or

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 ...

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with uterine atony being the most significant contributing factor. Other risk factors for PPH include increased maternal age, coagulation abnormalities, retained ...

Effective team management of PPH involves recognition, communication, resuscitation, monitoring and investigation and directed treatment. Once a PPH has been recognised these components should be conducted simultaneously for optimal patient care. Some guidelines invoke basic measures for estimated

2024年7月19日 · The primary causes of PPH are the 4 “T’s”: tone (uterine atony), trauma (lacerations or uterine rupture), tissue (retained placenta or clots), and thrombin (coagulation deficiency). Uterine atony is the most common cause of …

2020年12月4日 · Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of global maternal mortality and accounts for approximately one-quarter of all maternal deaths worldwide. Prevention of excess maternal deaths requires a coordinated approach to prevention, early recognition, and intervention by a multidisciplinary team.

Trauma-related PPH may stem from perineal injuries or pseudoaneurysm rupture, while PAS involves abnormal placental adherence. PAS demands early detection due to associated life-threatening bleeding during delivery. Secondary PPH, occurring within 24 h to 6 weeks postpartum, frequently arises from RPOC.

2019年11月21日 · Traumatic PPH can occur following vaginal or caesarean delivery and is almost always due to lapses in judgment. It should be prevented by avoiding injudicious use of prostaglandins and oxytocin, avoiding inappropriate application of forceps and ventouse, avoiding prolonged trail of labor, and performing a timely caesarean section.

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).
