Editor’s PicksThe Relationship Between Timing of Postpartum Hemorrhage Interventions and Adverse OutcomesHoward, T.F.; Grobman, W.A. Author Information Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL Obstetric Anesthesia Digest 36(2):p 59-60, June 2016. | DOI: 10.1097/01.aoa.0000482590.88381.ad Buy Metrics Abstract (Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2015;213:239.e1–239.e3) As the causes of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) are varied, there are also a variety of methods involved in its management. Typical interventions include fundal massage, uterotonic medications, balloon tamponade (BT), and uterine artery embolization (UAE). But while some studies have shown that the use of PPH protocols can help lower the risk of maternal mortality, there has not been much research on whether the timing of specific interventions has a positive impact on outcomes.
