ABSTRACT
This guideline aims to provide evidence for prevention, recognition, and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage including severe hemorrhage leading to hemorrhagic shock. Benefits, harms, and costs Appropriate recognition and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage can prevent serious morbidity while reducing costs to the health care system by minimizing more costly interventions and length of hospital stays. Medical literature, PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, the Cochrane Database, and grey literature were searched for articles, published between 2012 and 2021, on postpartum hemorrhage, uterotonics, obstetrical hemorrhage, and massive hemorrhage protocols. The authors rated the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. See online Appendix A (Tables A1 for definitions and A2 for interpretations of strong and conditional [weak] recommendations). All members of the health care team who care for labouring or postpartum women, including, but not restricted to, nurses, midwives, family physicians, obstetricians, and anesthesiologists.
