Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is excessive bleeding after childbirth
The main causes of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) are the "4 T's":
- Tone: Uterine atony, or a weak uterus after delivery, is the most common cause of PPH, accounting for about 70% of cases. ÂÂ
- Trauma: This includes uterine rupture, lacerations, hematomas, or inversion. ÂÂ
- Tissue: This includes retained placenta or clots, or an invasive placenta. ÂÂ
- Thrombin:Â This includes blood clotting disorders, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC
People with certain risk factors are more likely to experience postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), including:
- Placental problems: Placenta accreta, placenta previa, placental abruption, and retained placenta are all high-risk conditions. ÂÂ
- Uterine overdistension: This can happen after multiple pregnancies, having twins or more, birthing a large baby, or having too much amniotic fluid. ÂÂ
- Cesarean section: Cesarean sections are more likely to result in increased blood loss, especially after a long labor. ÂÂ
- Lacerations: Vaginal deliveries, especially those that use forceps or a vacuum, can result in lacerations that require sutures. ÂÂ
- Oxytocin: This induction medication can make the uterine muscle less sensitive and hinder uterine contraction after delivery. ÂÂ
- Labor induction and augmentation: These are significantly associated with an increased risk of PPH. ÂÂ
- Previous PPH: A history of PPH increases the risk of experiencing it again. ÂÂ
Other risk factors include:
- Primiparity
- Gestational age less than 32 weeks
- Birth weight of 4500 grams or more
- Hypertensive disorders
- Coagulopathy
- ObesityÂ
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) can be prevented by:
- Active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL)This is the most effective strategy to prevent PPH. AMTSL includes:
- Administering oxytocin (Pitocin) after the delivery of the anterior shoulder ÂÂ
- Controlled cord traction to deliver the placenta ÂÂ
- Uterine massage after delivery of the placenta ÂÂ
- Administering oxytocin (Pitocin) after the delivery of the anterior shoulderÂ
- Identifying risk factorsHealthcare providers can identify women at high risk for PPH before delivery by documenting risk factors and sharing a patient's complete medical historyÂÂÂ
- Correcting anemia and iron deficiencyEnsuring adequate iron intake and red blood cell levels during pregnancy can help minimize the impact of PPHÂÂÂ
- Using uterotonic drugsRoutine administration of uterotonic drugs during the third stage of labor is a key intervention to prevent PPHÂÂÂ
- Using tranexamic acidTranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that can be used to prevent PPHÂÂÂ
- Using uterine balloon tamponadeThis non-pharmacological, non-surgical method provides direct pressure to control PPHÂ
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) can lead to many complications, including:
- Hypovolemic shockWhen a patient loses 20% of their blood, they may experience tachycardia, tachypnea, and narrowed pulse pressure. This can lead to ischemic injury to the heart, brain, kidneys, and liver.ÂÂÂ
- Sheehan syndromeAlso known as postpartum hypopituitarism, this condition can occur after excessive blood loss.ÂÂÂ
- Complications from blood transfusionsThese can include transfusion-related acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and transfusion-associated circulatory overload.ÂÂÂ
- Organ failurePPH can lead to organ failure, including acute renal failure and hepatic failure.ÂÂÂ
- AnemiaPPH can cause anemia, which can make it more difficult for a mother to care for her newborn.ÂÂÂ
- Delayed postpartum hemorrhageThis is bleeding that occurs after 24 hours, and can be caused by retained placental fragments or sloughing of the placental eschar.ÂÂÂ
PPH is defined as losing more than 500 mL of blood after giving birth, and it occurs in up to 18% of births. The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony, which occurs when the uterus doesn't contract properly after birth. Other causes include placenta abnormalities, retained placenta, lacerations, and uterine rupture
Each year, about 14 million women experience PPH resulting in about 70,000 maternal deaths globally. Even when women survive, they often need urgent surgical interventions to control the bleeding and may be left with lifelong reproductive disability.
In Uganda, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) accounts for a significant number of maternal deaths:Â
Â
Â
- Incidence: In one study, the overall incidence of PPH in Uganda was 9.0%, and 1.2% of those cases were severe. ÂÂ
- Risk factors: A study found that grand-multiparous women have a 40% increased risk of PPH. ÂÂ
- Maternal deaths:Â In a review of medical records, 37% of maternal deaths were due to PPH
