Postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of death for mothers. Prompt management, including uterine artery embolization, can significantly improve outcomes for obstetric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Vascular Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a critical obstetric complication.
  • It remains a primary source of maternal morbidity and mortality globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a stepwise management approach for postpartum hemorrhage.
  • To highlight uterine artery embolization (UAE) as a key intervention for severe or refractory cases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current management strategies for PPH.
  • Emphasis on the role of pharmacotherapy, surgical techniques, and interventional radiology.

Main Results:

  • A structured, stepwise approach effectively mitigates the impact of PPH.
  • Uterine artery embolization offers significant advantages for severe PPH management.

  • UAE is underutilized despite its benefits.

    • Conclusions:

    • Timely and stepwise management is crucial for reducing PPH complications.
    • Uterine artery embolization is a highly effective, albeit underutilized, treatment for severe postpartum hemorrhage.
