Abstract

Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the mostly deadly and preventable conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth. Between 54-93% of hemorrhage deaths may be preventable and provider management accounts for 90% of the preventable mortality. Prompt recognition and treatment are key in the survival of both mother and baby.

The current standards for hemorrhage are a blood loss of over 500ml for a vaginal delivery or 1000ml for a cesarean section. Estimated blood loss (EBL) is inaccurate and underestimated. New standards include quantification of blood loss (QBL), which measures blood loss via calibrated collection devices and scales.
