Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal mortality. This review details management strategies for severe PPH unresponsive to standard treatments, focusing on resuscitation and hemostasis.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal Health
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a significant contributor to maternal mortality globally.
  • Persistent blood loss exceeding 1000 ml necessitates immediate resuscitation and hemostasis protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and present medical and surgical interventions for managing major postpartum haemorrhage.
  • To discuss advanced strategies for PPH unresponsive to oxytocin and ergometrine.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of medical and surgical interventions for PPH.
  • In-depth discussion of specific treatments including misoprostol, recombinant activated factor VII, uterine tamponade, artery ligation, and suturing techniques.
  • Evaluation of interventional radiology and hysterectomy in obstetric management.

Main Results:

  • Various medical and surgical options exist for managing severe PPH.
  • Specific agents like misoprostol and recombinant activated factor VII offer alternatives.
  • Interventional radiology and surgical procedures like artery ligation and hysterectomy are considered.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of severe PPH requires a structured approach with multiple intervention options.
  • Timely and appropriate application of advanced techniques is crucial for improving maternal outcomes in PPH.
