Research Notes on Postpartum Hemorrhage
Obstetrical hemorrhage refers to heavy bleeding during pregnancy, labor, or the puerperium. Bleeding may be vaginal and external, or, less commonly, internal, into the abdominal cavity. Postpartum hemorrhage is the loss of ≥500mL of blood. Causes of postpartum hemorrhage are generally broken down into four categories, commonly called "The Four T's": trauma, tone (uterine atony), tissue (refers to any cellular debris from the placenta or fetus that may be left in the uterus, causing the uterus to not contract), and thrombin (refers to some failure of clotting). …read more from Wikipedia
