Postpartum Hemorrhage EXPLAINED: The Muscle Is the Tourniquet

Postpartum Hemorrhage EXPLAINED visually — the muscle is the tourniquet: why a clamped uterus stops its own bleeding and a boggy one cannot, the Four T's (tone, trauma, tissue, thrombin), the definitions that count (500/1,000 classic; ACOG's 1,000 mL or hypovolemia), why you WEIGH blood instead of guessing, the First Five Moves, and the full rescue ladder in NAME / ACTION / EFFECTS / NURSE'S WATCH — oxytocin, methylergonovine (the pressure gate), carboprost (the lung gate), misoprostol, and TXA on its 3-hour clock — plus RhoGAM, the 72-hour shield for the NEXT baby. Four exam questions with every wrong answer explained, original Memory Locks, and the Hemorrhage Checks. Series: Maternity Push. Confirm doses and protocols with your program's drug guide. STAY SHARP, NURSES!
