Purpose Of Review:
Postpartum hemorrhage is increasingly frequent and a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. Although individual steps, such as coagulation or surgical management, have been reviewed, there is little information on treatment algorithms.
Recent Findings:
A treatment algorithm for postpartum hemorrhage was developed by the experts from three different specialties and from three countries. The algorithm describes symptoms, diagnosis, general measurements, medication, and organizational aspects.
Summary:
The algorithm is thought to serve as a template for local adaptation. It will hopefully improve the management of postpartum hemorrhage.
