“…The relative low rate of PPH and severe PPH in the present study may be attributed to the fact that the present study was focused only on primary PPH. Although rates of severe PPH vary according to the definition used and the severity of the hemorrhage, recent studies have shown that severe PPH appears to be increasing in some developed countries [5,14]. Increase in occurrence of severe PPH could be explained in partly by changes in rates of cesarean delivery, induction of labor or by increases in maternal age or body mass index [5].…”

“…2 Haemorrhage is the most common cause for maternal critical care admission [3][4][5] and places a profound health burden on the childbearing population during an important life event. Haemorrhage is more common in women who have caesarean sections, 6 particularly when indicated for conditions such as placenta praevia (low-lying placenta) or when an emergency caesarean section is required. 7 Approximately 166,000 caesarean sections are performed annually in England.…”

HTA programmeThe HTA programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance.

“…In addition, numerous studies have shown, in industrialized countries, an increase in the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in recent years [5], reflecting in part the changes in obstetrical practice of the last decade (for example, the increase in the rate of caesarean sections or the increased trend toward practice of spontaneous delivery after caesarean section).…”

Postpartum hemorrhage is defined as a blood loss equal to or greater than 500 ml, which can occur from 24 hours to six weeks after delivery. It is a critical event with a rapid and devastating evolution, which can quickly lead to maternal shock and death. Many efforts have been made to create international and multisectoral guidelines that allow to face an event that represents the cause of about one quarter of maternal deaths. It is crucial to create a team able to act promptly in accordance with shared protocols. The availability of shared guidelines and protocols and the organization of periodic simulations and teamwork training are part of the fundamental initiatives that can promote the safety of perinatal care. The purpose of this document is to give clinicians the tools to minimize the risks associated with inadequate management of hemorrhagic emergency, avoiding the risk of "too little or too late" and giving patients maximum safety.

The Epidemiology of Postpartum Hemorrhage in a Large, Nationwide Sample of Deliveries

Abstract: PPH is a relatively common complication of delivery and is associated with substantial maternal morbidity and mortality. It is increasing in frequency in the United States. PPH caused by uterine atony resulting in transfusion often occurs in the absence of recognized risk factors.
