Abstract:
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a serious complication of pregnancy. In this study, patients with PPH were treated with blood component transfusion, and the effectiveness of blood component transfusion and its influence on coagulation function were analysed. This retrospective randomised controlled study evaluated the clinical data of patients with PPH who were admitted to the Department of Blood Transfusion at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, from January 2021 to December 2021. In 2021, 84 patients received treatment at this hospital. Patients transfused with a 1:1 ratio of red blood cells (RBC) to cryoprecipitate showed a significant improvement in coagulation levels compared to pretreatment. The combination of RBC, plasma, and cryoprecipitate in a reasonable proportion effectively improves coagulation function in haemorrhage puerperae, showing a good clinical treatment effect. It is worth promoting. Key Words: Postpartum, Blood component transfusion, Coagulation, Resuscitation rate.

Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
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...
Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...

History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
