Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage is usually unexpected, and blood loss can be massive. Excessive bleeding after delivery may result from uterine atony, disruption of the genital tract, placental abnormalities, coagulation disorders and miscellaneous obstetric complications. Prompt treatment is imperative. Treatment options include oxytocics, prostaglandins, uterine exploration, uterine packing and, occasionally, surgery.
