1 Postpartum Hemorrhage
Dr.Suresh Babu Chaduvula Professor Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology College of Medicine, Abha, KKU, Saudi Arabia

2 POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE [ PPH ]
Definition: More than 500 ml of blood loss following normal vaginal delivery of the fetus or 1000ml following Cesarean section. Clinically the amount of blood loss from or into the genital tract which will adversely affect the general condition of the patient Hemorrhage leading to fall in hematocrit by 10 %. Incidence – 1 %

3 TYPES 1] Primary 2] Secondary
Primary – bleeding occurs following delivery of the baby up to 24 hours Primary is two types: A] Third Stage hemorrhage B] True Post Partum hemorrhage

4 Third Stage hemorrhage:
Bleeding occurs before the expulsion of placenta Example- Placenta accreta, retained placenta True Postpartum hemorrhage: Occurs after the expulsion of placenta

5 Secondary or Delayed or Late Postpartum hemorrhage:
Bleeding occurs following delivery of the baby after 24 hours up to 6 weeks.

6 Primary Postpartum Hemorrhage
Causes: 1] Atonic 2] Traumaic 3] Mixed 4] Coagulopathy

7 Atonic PPH Contributes for 80 % of PPH Commonest cause of PPH
Cause – Faulty retraction of the uterus Etiology: 1] Grand Multipara 2] Over- distension of uterus – Multiple pregnancy, Hydramnios, big baby 3] Anemia

8 4] Prolonged Labor 5] Anaesthesia – Halothane. Ether, Cyclopropane 6] Uterine fibroid 7] Precipitate labor 8] Malformations of uterus – septate uterus, bicornuate uterus 9] Ante partum hemorrhage 10] Initiation & augmentation of delivery with oxytocin

9 Traumatic PPH 1] Cervix – lacerations 2] Vaginal laceration
3] Perineum injury 4] Paraurethral injury 5] Uterine rupture

10 Combination of Atonic and Traumatic:
Blood coagulation Disorders: Abruptio Placenta, Jaundice, Thrombocytopenic purpura, HELLP syndrome

11 The Four “T” to remember
Tone Tissue Trauma Thrombin

12 PPH Risk Factors

13 PPH Risk Factors

14 PPH Risk Factors

15 PPH Risk Factors

16 DIAGNOSIS Vaginal bleeding may be revealed or concealed
Alteration in pulse, Blood pressure and Pulse pressure Flabby uterus in atonic uterus

17 PPH

18 PREVENTION OF PPH UTEROTONIC DRUGS
Routine oxytocic administration in the third stage of labour can reduce the risk of PPH by more than 40% The routine prophylaxis with oxytocics results in a reduced need to use these drugs therapeutically Management of the third stage of labour should therefore include the administration of oxytocin after the delivery of the anterior shoulder.

19 MANAGEMENT OF PPH Early recognition of PPH is a very important factor in management. An established plan of action for the management of PPH is of great value when the preventive measures have failed.

29 Summary: Remember 4 Ts Tone Tissue Trauma Thrombin

30 Summary: remember 4 Ts “TONE” Rule out Uterine Atony Palpate fundus.
Massage uterus. Oxytocin Methergine

31 Summary: remember 4 Ts “Tissue” R/O retained placenta
Inspect placenta for missing cotyledons. Explore uterus. Treat abnormal implantation.

32 Summary: remember 4 Ts “TRAUMA” R/O cervical or vaginal lacerations.
Obtain good exposure. Inspect cervix and vagina. Worry about slow bleeders. Treat hematomas.

33 Summary: remember 4 Ts “THROMBIN”
Replacement with blood or Fresh frozen plasma or Platelet rich plasma.
