Learning Objectives
1. Define postpartum hemorrhage
2. Differentiate between primary and secondary postpartum
hemorrhage.
2.Describe prevention (active management of the third stage
of labour) and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.
3. Recall the four Ts as causes of postpartum hemorrhage.
4. Identify risk factors for PPH.
5.Describe the implications of postpartum hemorrhage on
the health of the mother and baby.
6. Prevention and management of PPH
4. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is leading
cause of maternal mortality, accounting for
one-third of all maternal deaths worldwide
PPH causes up to 60% of all maternal deaths
in developing countries.
The majority of these deaths - within 4
hours of delivery, indicating they are a
consequence of third stage of labour.
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 4
5. • Primary (immediate) postpartum hemorrhage is
defined as excessive bleeding that occurs within the
first 24 hours after delivery.
• About 70% of immediate PPH cases are due to uterine
atony.
• Atony of the uterus is defined as the failure of the
uterus to contract adequately after the child is born.
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 5
6. • Secondary (late) postpartum hemorrhage is
defined as excessive bleeding occurring between 24
hours after delivery of the baby and 6 weeks
postpartum. Most late PPH is due to retained
products of conception, or infection, or both
combined.
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 6
7. Quantified
PPH has been defined as blood loss in excess of 500
cc in vaginal deliveries and in excess of 1,000 cc in
cesarean section deliveries. For clinical purposes,
any blood loss that has the potential to produce
hemodynamic compromise should be considered a
PPH.
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 7
8. The amount of blood loss required to cause
hemodynamic compromise will depend on the pre-
existing condition of the woman.
Hemodynamic compromise is more likely to occur in
conditions such as anemia (e.g. iron deficiency, sickle
cell, and thalassemia) or volume contracted states
(e.g. dehydration, gestational hypertension with
proteinuria).
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 8
9. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 9
Classification
• Primary : Loss within 1st 24 hours after delivery
• Secondary : 24 hours till 12 weeks postnatally
• Minor : 500-1000 ml
• Moderate : 1000-2000 ml
• Severe : > 2000 ml
10. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 10
Clinical Findings With Varying
Amounts of Blood Loss
Blood loss will result in changes to the state of
consciousness, the pulse rate, the respiratory rate,
the temperature, the blood pressure, the status of
the skin and mucous membranes, capillary refilling,
and urine output.
11. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 11
Estimating Blood Loss
• Accurate estimation of blood loss is essential in the
recognition and management of obstetric
hemorrhage. Underestimation of blood loss may
result in lack of recognition of PPH, and inadequate
or inappropriate management

• Mild hypovolemia, loss of <20% of the blood
volume,
• mild tachycardia,
• mottled skin,
• cool extremities due to increased systemic vascular
resistance and prolonged capillary refilling,
• urinary output may be decreased.
• The woman may report dizziness, although her
neurologic status usually remains normal.
14. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 14
• With moderate hypovolemia, i.e. loss of 20% to 40%
of the blood volume,
• woman will become increasingly anxious.
• pulse will become very fast and weak, >110/bpm
(tachycardia).
• Her respiratory rate will increase to a rate of
>30/bpm.
• will exhibit marked pallor; her eyelids, palms, and
mucous membranes will be very pale.
• Her blood pressure may be normal when she is in the
supine position. However, there may be significant
postural hypotension
15. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 15
• When blood loss is severe, i.e. >40% of the blood
volume,
• the classic signs of shock will appear.
• The blood pressure declines and becomes unstable
even in the supine position.
• The woman will develop marked tachycardia,
oliguria or anuria, and agitation or confusion.
• Loss of consciousness is an ominous sign.
16. Rule of 30
This rule is used to measure severity of shock
resulting from at least 30% of blood loss –
• Increase in HR by >30 beats/min
• Fall in Systolic BP >30 mmHg
• RR >30/min
• Hematocrit drops by >30%
• Urine output <30ml/min
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 16
18. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 18
• Frequent measuring of birth fluids may help health
care providers become more skilled in assessing
blood loss. Health care providers should become
familiar with the absorbency of maternity pads,
under pads, and other surfaces on which maternal
blood may accumulate during delivery in their
practice location
19. REMEMBER
Blood loss is consistently underestimated.
Underestimation may result in inadequate treatment
resulting in complications or death.
Ongoing trickling can lead to significant blood loss.
Blood loss is generally well tolerated by healthy
women, to a point.
Anemia and other underlying health conditions may
profoundly affect a woman‘s ability to tolerate any
amount of blood loss.
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 19
20. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 20
• Complications Associated With Postpartum
Hemorrhage
• Significant blood loss can occur very quickly. Women
can lose up to 500 ml of blood in 1 minute during a
PPH.
• The average woman has approximately 5 litres of
blood in her circulation. At this rate, it is possible for a
woman to become exsanguinated (lose all of her
blood) within 10 minutes. Rapid, efficient action must
be taken to save the woman‘s life and to prevent
complications related to significant blood loss
21. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 21
Effects of PPH
• PPH is associated with orthostatic hypotension,
anemia, and fatigue.
• Postpartum anemia is associated with lactation failure
placing the health of the newly born infant at risk.
• It is also associated with postpartum depression that
may in turn affect maternal bonding with the
newborn. Maternal attachment to the newborn is
essential for the long-term well-being of the infant.
• Extreme fatigue resulting from anemia may make
maternal care of the newborn and other siblings more
difficult
22. Etiology
• Causes of PPH in terms of the Four T‘s:
• Tone - uterine atony
• Tissue - retained placenta or clots
• Trauma - uterine, cervical, or vaginal injury
• Thrombin - pre-existing or acquired coagulopathy

Prevention
• Compared to expectant management, active
management of the third stage of labour (AMTSL) is
associated with
• ↓ maternal blood loss,
• ↓ postpartum hemorrhage,
• ↓ postpartum anemia,
• ↓ need for blood transfusions
• and a ↓ e in the incidence of prolonged third stage
of labour.
30. 5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 30
What is active management of 3rd stage of labour?
Active management of 3rd stage of labour (AMTSL)
involves 3 steps after delivery of baby:
1. Uterotonic drug given immediately after birth of baby
2.Placenta delivered by controlled cord traction with
counter-traction on the fundus during contraction
3. Fundal massage after delivery of the placenta
32. What are the oxytocic drugs used in AMTSL?
There are 4 kinds of drugs used in third stage of labor
• Oxytocin- posterior pituitary extract
• Ergometrine- preparation of ergot
• Syntometrine- combination of oxytocin and
ergometrine
• Misoprostol- prostaglandin E1 analogue
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 32
33. Drugs Advantage Disadvantage
Oxytocin Causes uterus to contract
• Acts within 2.5 minutes when
given IM
• Generally does not cause side
effects
• Safe in hypertension
• IM or IV preparations only
• Not heat stable
Ergometrine
5/10/2021

Management of PPH
Principles of management -
To replace the blood
To empty the uterus
To ensure effective hemostasis
For systematic management of PPH there is algorithm
known as
‘ HEMOSTASIS ’
37. HEMOSTASIS
H: Ask for help
A: Assess (vitals, blood loss) & resuscitate
E: Establish etiology & check Ecbolics
(syntometrine, ergometrine)Ensure availability
of blood
M: Massage uterus
O: Oxytocin infusion, prostaglandins

S : Subtotal or total abdominal hysterectomy
40. Volume Replacement
5.Fluid of Choice – Crystalloid over colloids
6. Crystalloid of choice – Ringer Lactate
7. Loss of 1 Lit of blood requires replacement
with 4-5 Lit of crystalloids (NS or RL) or
colloids until cross matched blood Is available
(1 ml of blood loss= 3 ml of crystalloids)
8. The recommended transfusion ratio for
PRBC:FFP:RDP IS 1:1:1

Compression
•
•
•
•
Form a fist.
Place the fist in anterior
fornix & apply pressure
against the anterior wall of
uterus.
With the other hand press
deeply into the abdomen
behind the uterus to make it
anteverted.
Pressure against the posterior
wall of uterus Maintain
pressure until bleeding is
controlled & uterus contracts.
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 44
45. 4. Shift to OT
• Patient is to be shifted to O.T
• By P/S examination rule out trauma to perineum ,
vagina, and cervix .
• If required then hemostasis sutures are to be taken by
catgut suture.
• Also examine the placenta for its completeness.
• Exploration of uterus is done .
• Evacuation of any product of conception if retained.
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 45
46. 5. Uterine tamponade
1.Tight uterine packing
2. Balloon tamponade
a. Bakri balloon
b. Sengstaken Blakemore catheter
c. Condom catheter
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 46
47. Intrauterine packing
• A long gauze of 5 metre soaked in antiseptic cream
is introduced inside the uterus and placed in to the
fundal area.
• Exerts direct haemostatic effect to open uterine
sinuses.
• Obselete now days because of risk of intra uterine
sepsis .
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 47
48. Balloon tamponade
• Balloon Inflate balloon with 200- 500 ml warm 0.9 %
Sodium chloride.
• It adapts to shape of the uterine cavity and occludes
the venous sinus.
• If the bleeding is controlled it known as Positive
Tamponade Test.
• The catheter should not be removed within 12-
24hrs.
• Effectiveness – 88%
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 48

5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 60
61. PREVENTION:
Prevention of PPH is not always possible but however its incidence can be reduced
By substantially assessing the risk factors and following guidelines as mentioned:
5/10/2021 Uma Gupta 61
•ANTENATAL:
1.Improvement of health status of women and to keep the haemoglobin level
normal(>10g/dl), so that the patient can withstand some amount of blood loss.
2.High risk patients who are likely to develop PPH (such as twins, hydramnios, grand
multipara, history of previous pph, severe anemia) are to be screened.
3.Blood grouping should be done for all womenso that no time is wasted during
emergency.
62. 4. Placental localization should for all women with previous cesarean delivery by USG or
MRI to detect placenta accreta or percreta or to determine morbid adherent placenta.
P.P
5. Women with morbid adherent placenta are at high risk of developing pph. Such a case
should be delivered by senior obstetrician. Availability of blood and blood products must
ensured before hand.
• INTRANATAL:
1. Active management of the third stage, for
reduces PPh by 60%
all women in labor should be a routine as it
2. Women delivered by cesarean section, oxytoxin 5 IU slow IV is to be given to reduce
blood loss. Carbetocin 100mcg is very useful to prevent PPH.
3. Exploration of the uterovaginal canal for evidence of trauma following difficult
labor or instrumental delivery.
4. Observation for about two hours after delivery to make sure that the uterus is hard and
well contracted before sending her to ward.
5. During cesarean section spontaneous separation and delivery of the placenta reduces
blood loss by 30%
6. Examination of the placenta and membranes should be a routine to detect at the
earliest any missing part.
