Postpartum haemorrhage after induced and spontaneous labour
Induced labor increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). This risk is nearly double for first-time mothers undergoing induced labor compared to spontaneous labor, even in normal deliveries.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Background:
- Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a significant maternal complication.
- Labor induction is a common obstetric intervention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the incidence of PPH after induced labor versus spontaneous labor.
- To analyze PPH rates in normal deliveries following labor induction.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of labor records from 1000 consecutive deliveries.
- Further analysis of 3674 normal deliveries to confirm findings.
Main Results:
- Higher incidence of PPH observed in the induced labor group.
- Primiparous patients showed nearly double the PPH risk after induced labor compared to spontaneous labor, even in normal deliveries.
Conclusions:
- Labor induction is associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
- PPH risk should be considered when deciding on labor induction, especially for primiparous patients.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
