Case Description

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is severe bleeding after giving birth. It's a serious and dangerous condition. PPH usually occurs within 24 hours of childbirth, but it can happen up to 12 weeks postpartum. When the bleeding is caught early and treated quickly, it leads to more successful outcomes....

Case Summary

  • Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is defined as blood loss exceeding 500 ml after vaginal delivery or 1000 ml after cesarean section. The World Health Organization (WHO) broadens this to include any blood loss over 500 ml within 24 hours of delivery, or a decline in hematocrit/hemoglobin levels. Hemodynamic instability due to any amount of blood loss also constitutes PPH.
