Major causes of death for pregnancy women (maternal mortality) • Postpartum hemorrhage(28%) • heart diseases • pregnancy-induced hypertension • (or Amniotic fluid embolism ) • infection

Definition of PPH: be defined as a blood loss exceeding 500mlafter delivery of the infantPPH:occurs in24 hourof delivery: the late PPH: occurs after 24 hour of deliveryto 6weeks
Definition of PPH • be defined as a blood loss exceeding 500ml after delivery of the infant • PPH: occurs in 24 hour of delivery • the late PPH: occurs after 24 hour of delivery to 6 weeks

Majorcauses: Uterine atony (90%): lacerations of the genital tract(6%)retainedplacenta(3%-4%)coagulation defects (blood dyscrasia). (4T: tone, tissue,trauma,thrombin)
Major causes • Uterine atony (90%) • lacerations of the genital tract(6%) • retained placenta(3%-4%) • coagulation defects (blood dyscrasia) • (4T: tone, tissue,trauma,thrombin)

1. Uterine atony Local factors • overdistention of the uterine (hydramnios, multiple pregnancy, macrosomia ) • condition that interfere with contraction(leiomyomas) • complications(PIH,anaemia, placenta praevia

Systemic factors:nervous: drugs(magnesium sulfate,sedative): abnormal labor(prolonged,precipitous· History of previous PPH: Preeclampsia, abnormal placentation
Systemic factors: • nervous • drugs(magnesium sulfate,sedative) • abnormal labor(prolonged,precipitous) • History of previous PPH • Preeclampsia, abnormal placentation

pathology: Contraction constricting the spiralarteriespreventing the excessive bleeding fromthe placenta implantation site: the uterine atony give rise to PPHwhen no contraction occur
pathology • Contraction constricting the spiral arteries • preventing the excessive bleeding from the placenta implantation site • the uterine atony give rise to PPH when no contraction occur

Prevention and therapeutic of uterine atony • Administration of medicine: • promotes contraction of the uterine corpus • decreases the likelihood of uterine atony • Oxytocin agents • Methegine • prostaglandin

• Mechanical stimulation of uterine contraction: • Massage of uterus through the abdomen and bimanual compression • intrauterine packing
