A Study to decrease the incidence of PPH in our hospital setting
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to measure incidence, identify risk factors (pre‐existing or acquired) for PPH and to prevent progression to severe PPH.
Methods: This is a prospective observational study. The causes are likely to be multifactorial with shifting demography and health status widely cited, e.g. age, obesity, comorbidity, multiple pregnancy and ethnicity.
Results: Prepregnancy factors for PPH include age, ethnicity, BMI, previous PPH and assisted conception
Conclusion: Prophylactic uterotonic agents in high-risk patients, use of intramuscular or intravenous oxytocin, timely application of B –lynch suture, adequate and timely arrangement of blood and blood factors can help prevent PPH.
