Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Maternal Health

Context:

  • Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the second leading cause of maternal mortality in France.
  • PPH is an obstetric and anaesthetic emergency that is often avoidable.
  • Risk factors for PPH can be identified before or during labor, enabling preventive measures.

Purpose:

  • To emphasize the critical role of obstetrical conduct in anticipating and managing PPH.
  • To highlight the importance of prompt multidisciplinary responsibility to avoid detrimental delays.
  • To discuss advanced treatment options for PPH, including arterial embolisation and stepwise uterine devascularisation.

Summary:

  • Effective management of PPH relies on identifying at-risk patients and implementing timely preventive and curative strategies.

  • Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential to prevent coagulopathy complications once hemorrhage begins.
  • Arterial embolisation offers significant noninvasive conservative treatment, particularly after vaginal delivery.
  • Stepwise uterine devascularisation is a promising surgical approach, effective in all conditions, preserving fertility.

    • Impact:

    • Improved management strategies for postpartum haemorrhage can reduce maternal mortality rates.
    • Timely intervention and advanced treatments like arterial embolisation and uterine devascularisation enhance patient outcomes.
    • Preservation of maternal fertility through effective surgical options is a key benefit of modern PPH management.
