PPH guidelines

PPH guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for managing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), which is heavy bleeding after childbirth. They emphasize early recognition, prompt intervention, and a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to prevent severe complications. The guidelines outline steps such as active management of the third stage of labor, monitoring blood loss, administering medications to contract the uterus, and considering surgical or blood transfusion procedures if needed. The goal is to ensure timely, effective treatment to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality associated with PPH, while tailoring interventions to each woman’s specific situation.
