Which of the following management should be performed in the setting of postpartum hemorrhage following a vaginal delivery?
Procedures used in PPH management include manual removal of the placenta, manual removal of clots, uterine tamponade, and uterine artery embolization. Laceration repair is indicated when PPH is a result of genital tract trauma.
Which nursing intervention helps minimize postpartum hemorrhage?
Nursing Interventions Save all perineal pads used during bleeding and weigh them to determine the amount of blood loss. Place the woman in a side lying position to make sure that no blood is pooling underneath her. Assess lochia frequently to determine if the amount discharged is still within the normal limits.
How do you prevent postpartum hemorrhage?
The most effective strategy to prevent postpartum hemorrhage is active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL). AMTSL also reduces the risk of a postpartum maternal hemoglobin level lower than 9 g per dL (90 g per L) and the need for manual removal of the placenta.
