It is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. The primary causes of PPH are the 4 T’s: Tone (uterine atony, most common), Trauma (perineal or uterine tears), Tissue (retained placental fragments), and Thrombin (coagulopathies). Risk factors include prolonged labor, multiple gestations 👶👶, overdistended uterus, uterine rupture, and incomplete placental delivery. Clinical features include excessive bleeding, hypotension, tachycardia, and signs of hypovolemic shock 🚨. Management involves prompt identification and treatment, including uterine massage, administration of uterotonic agents (e.g., oxytocin, misoprostol), and surgical interventions like uterine tamponade, B-Lynch sutures, or hysterectomy in severe cases. Preventive strategies include active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL) and close postpartum monitoring. Early recognition and timely intervention are crucial to saving lives. 🩺✨⚠️ #PostpartumHemorrhage #PPHManagement #ObstetricsLectures #MaternalHealth #PregnancyCare #HighRiskPregnancy #MedicalEducation #MBBSNotes #StudySmart #ObstetricEmergencies #UterineAtony #SaveMothersLives
