Abstract

© 2020 Obstetric haemorrhage, and in particular PPH, remains the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Historically the impact of PPH has been most significant in low resource settings, however recent data suggests both the rate of PPH and number of maternal deaths due to haemorrhage are on the rise in the UK. Prevention and rapid recognition and management of PPH by clinicians, is key to mitigate the ensuing maternal morbidity and mortality. This article aims to provide an overview of important conservative, medical and surgical strategies for the prevention and management of PPH and to highlight the existing gaps in current literature to direct future work.
