Postpartum hemorrhage • Blood loss • > 500 ml for vaginal delivery • >1000 ml for caesarean section (Pritchard et al, 1962) (WHO) • After completion of the third stage of labor • Inaccurate estimated blood loss, underreporting Michael A Belfort, MBBCH, MD, PhD, FRCSC, FRCOG. Overview of postpartum hemorrhage.
Postpartum hemorrhage • >10% change in hematocrit (Combs et al, 1991) • Need for blood transfusion (Combs et al, 1991) • Excessive bleeding that makes the patient symptomatic • Potential to produce hemodynamic instability (>10% of total blood volume) Michael A Belfort, MBBCH, MD, PhD, FRCSC, FRCOG. Overview of postpartum hemorrhage.
Postpartum hemorrhage • Primary PPH • 4–6% of pregnancies • Occurring within first 24 hours of delivery • Secondary PPH • Occurring between 24 hours and 6–12 weeks postpartum Michael A Belfort, MBBCH, MD, PhD, FRCSC, FRCOG.Overview of postpartum hemorrhage ACOG Practice Bulletin No.76: Postpartum Hemorrhage .Obstet Gynecol. 2006 ; 108(4): 1039-47

Step 1Initial Assessment and treatment Resuscitation • Call for help • Large bore IV • ABC • O2 supplement • Vital sign, I/O • Foley catheter Assess Etiology - Explore uterus (tone,tissue) - Explore LGT (trauma) - Review Hx (thrombin) - Observed bleeding Laboratory test - CBC - Coagulation - Group and cross Step 2 : Directed Therapy Trauma - Correct inversion - Repair laceration - Repair hematoma Tone - Massage - Uterotonic Drugs Thrombin - Anticoagulation - Replace factor Tissue - Manual removal - Curettage Adapted from : WHO guidelines for the management of postpartum haemorrhage and retained placenta, 2009.
Step 3 : Intractable PPH Get Help - Large bore iv - Anesthesiologist - Lab and ICU Local Control - Manual compression +/- pack uterus +/- uterine tamponade +/- embolization BP & Coagulation - Crystalloid - Blood product Step 4 : Surgery Repair laceration Ligate vessels - Uterine/ ovarian vessel - Internal iliac artery Hysterectomy Step 5 : Post Hysterectomy Bleeding Abdominal packing Angiographic Embolization Adapted from : WHO guidelines for the management of postpartum haemorrhage and retained placenta, 2009.

Birth canal laceration • Perineal tear • Vaginal tear • Cervical tear
Perineal tear repair • Principle : ensure that first stitch suture inserted above apex of the tear or episiotomy wound • Continous polyglactin/ polyglycolic acid suture on tapercut needle • Obliterated dead space and taking care that sutures not too tightly • If dead spaces cannot be closed securely : Vg packing B-Lynch C et al. A textbook of postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding from the lower genital tract.Sapiens Publishing, 2006.
Vaginal tear repair • Superficial tear : similar to perineal tear • Deeper tear : • Identified bleeding vessel and ligated it • Any significant dead space or tear too friable to accept suturing >> packing • Repaired should be done under adequate anesthesia B-Lynch C et al. A textbook of postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding from the lower genital tract.Sapiens Publishing, 2006.
Vaginal tear repair • Vaginal packing using gauze : common method to achieve temponade • Vaginal packing with thrombinsoaked pack : closure of all laceration has not been possible • Risk of raw surface will rebleeding when removed packing : using sterile plastic bag inserted with providoneiodine-soaked pack • Left packing for 24-36 hr with retained Foley’s catheter and ATB prophylaxis B-Lynch C et al. A textbook of postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding from the lower genital tract.Sapiens Publishing, 2006.
Cervical tear • Superficial lacerations of the cervix can be seen on close inspection in more than half of all vaginal deliveries. • Most of these are less than 0.5 cm and seldom require repair (Fahmy, 1991). • Deeper lacerations are less frequent, but even these may be unnoticed. • Due to ascertainment bias, variable incidences are described. Williams Obstetrics, 24th Edition - Cunningham, Leveno, Bloom et al
Cervical tear • not usually problematic unless • hemorrhage • extend to the upper third of the vagina. • Rarely, the cervix may be entirely or partially avulsed from the vagina —colporrhexis—in the anterior, posterior, or lateral fornices. • sometimes follow • difficult forceps rotations • forceps blades applied over the cervix. Williams Obstetrics, 24th Edition - Cunningham, Leveno, Bloom et al
Cervical tear • In some women, cervical tears reach into lower uterine segment and involve the uterine artery and its major branches. • They occasionally extend into the peritoneal cavity. • The more severe lacerations usually manifest as external hemorrhage or as a hematoma, however, they may occasionally be unsuspected. Williams Obstetrics, 24th Edition - Cunningham, Leveno, Bloom et al
Cervical tear Melamed N et al. Intrapartum cervical lacerations: characteristics, risk factors, and effects on subsequent pregnancies. AJOG. 2009 ;200: 388e1-4.
Cervical tear repair • Laparotomy : tear extending above internal os • Packing with pressure : small, or non bleeding laceration • Cervical tear with active bleeding or longer than 2 cm may be repaired • Absorbable suture material
Gasp edges of most caudal part of laceration with ring forceps B-Lynch C et al. A textbook of postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding from the lower genital tract.Sapiens Publishing, 2006.
Suture with interrupted or figure of eight stitch • Held with hemostat to bring down into view next part to repair B-Lynch C et al. A textbook of postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding from the lower genital tract.Sapiens Publishing, 2006.
Suture to the apex of the laceration • Observed of laceration for a few minutes to ensure secure hemostasis B-Lynch C et al. A textbook of postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding from the lower genital tract.Sapiens Publishing, 2006.
Prevention of PPH • Active management of third stage of labor • Assisted expulsion of placenta • Prevent of decrease blood loss SOGC clinical practice guideline : Active management of the third stage of labour: prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. JOCG. 2009; 235: 980-93.
Active management of 3rd stage of labor The Cochrane Review concluded that active management reduced risks of the following • maternal blood loss • postpartum hemorrhage exceeding 500 mL • prolonged third stage labor
