Post Partum Hemorrhage and A Saga Through Sequentiality

Abstract

Post partum hemorrhage is an obstetric emergency complicating 1-10% of all deliveries. It continues to be the leading cause(38%) of maternal deaths. PPH is defined as blood loss of 500ml or more within 24 hours after birth while severe PPH is defined as a blood loss of 1000ml or more within the timeframe by the World Health Organisation. Obstetric hemorrhage and especially DIC is a leading cause for maternal mortality, often secondary to maternal and/or fetal complications including placental abruption, amniotic fluid embolism, HELLP syndrome, retained stillbirth, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, sepsis. Here, we present to you a young lady P1L2 who underwent elective LSCS for DCDA twin/ IVF conception and the sequential management.
