Postpartal Haemorrhage (PPH)
Definition:
Any blood loss from the birth channel exceeding 500
ml. Any amount sufficient to cause cardiovassicular
compromise.
- Primary PPH within 24 h
- Secundary PPH after 24 h to 6 weeks after birth.
PPH Causes:
Primary PPH
Secundary PPH:
• Tonus
• Tears
• Tissue
• Subinvolutio uteri, infection
• Retention
T T T
PPH Causes:
• Tonus
– Uterine Atony
• Tears
– Perineal, vaginal, cervical, uterine
• Tissue
– Placental retention, uterine eversion
Uterine Atony
PPH
Uterine Atony
PPH
Increased uterine bleeding due to inability to contract
properly.
PPH: Uterine Atony
• Excessive bleeding
• Soft, enlarged uterus,
• HOF ▲
• BP, Pulse ▼
• Impaired coagulation
Symptoms
PPH: Uterine Atony
Secundary PPH:
• Excessive uterine distension
• Multiparity
• Prolonged labour, uterine inertia
• Labour augmented wit Synto
• General anaesthesia
• Placenta praevia (lower segment)
• Placental abruption
Risk factors, Etiology
PPH Uterine Atony
• Tears
• Tissue
• Coagualtion
DD
PPH: Uterine Atony
Therapy
• Call for help (1)
• Stop bleeding, insert cath. (1)
• iv Line, put up drips, give drugs (2)
• Cross match, FBC (2)
• Monitoring BP, pulse, respiration (3)
• 1Amp Oxytocin®
(5-10 IE) i.v.
• 0.5 mg Ergometrine i.v. (repeat)
• Drip 40-80IE Oxytocin®
(4-8 Amp) and 1 mg
Ergometrine®
in 1000ml Ringer, NaCl
• 1mg Misoprostol (Cytotec®
): 5 Tbl. à 200ug
rectally
• Consider PGF2 (Hemabate)

Surgical Therapy
If conservative Tx not effective, don`t loose time
• Compressing sutures
• Tornique

Inversio
uteri:
PPH: inversio uteri
definition:
Eversion of uterus
Causes:
• Fundal placenta
• Uterine atony
• placenta accreta
• cord traction
Very rare
PPH: inversio uteri
Management
• General anaesthesia
• catheter
• Drip, close monitoring
• If available give tocolytic drugs
• Manual reposition
• After reposition, oxitocin, ergometrine

Management
PPH, Placental retention:
Plazental-
retention
/
manual
Extraction:
PPH, retained Placenta:
Retention of Placenta, incomplete Placenta:
Definition:
Retention or
incomplete P. after 30
min
Causes:
Acreta
Increta
Percreta
PPH, retained Placenta:
Symptoms:
• Bleeding > 500ml
• Impaired circulation
• Uterine atony
• Growing HOF
PPH, retained Placenta:
Treatment:
Active Management
• Dont`wait
• Give Oxytocin Bolus (5IE i.v.)
• catheter
• Rub uterus ( massage)
• suction
• Cord traction / Credé
PPH, retained Placenta:
Tx surgical:
• Give anaesthesia
• Monitoring, drip
• Cross match, FBC
• Manual removal of Placenta
• Post intervention:
Oxytocin, ergometrin, misoprostol
Close patient monitoring vitals, urine out put> 30mlslhr.
PPH, retained placenta:
Surgical Tx:
Abdominal hand
inner hand
Tears Grade I-IV:
PPH, TEARS:
Suturing in SpA
PPH, TEARS:
sphincter ani
Laceration of the Cervix
RF:
- Forceps
- Vacuum
PPH TEARS:
PPH:
Conclusion:
PPH is the most dangerous condition after delivery
• can be fatal even if recognised and treated
• active management is mandatory and life saving
• always have the next step in mind
• don`t wait for problems, treat problems before they
get fatal
• prepare yourself and the labour ward for PPH
PPH:
Conclusion:
Remember TTT
• Tonus
• Tissue
• Tears
Remember Drugs
• Oxytocin
• Ergometrine
• Misoprostol
Be prepared for surgery
• compr. Sutures, Ligation, Hysterectomy
