Management of obstetric hemorrhage

Obstetric hemorrhage refers to excessive bleeding during or after childbirth, which can be life-threatening. Management involves quick recognition of the problem and immediate actions to stop the bleeding. Healthcare providers will evaluate the cause, often focusing on factors like uterine contractions or retained tissue. Treatments may include medications to help the uterus contract, manual removal of any remaining tissue, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention. Blood transfusions may also be necessary. Timely intervention is crucial to ensure the mother's safety and recovery, highlighting the importance of skilled medical care during and after delivery.
