Abstract

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal death worldwide. In the UK, improved maternal health and obstetric care have greatly reduced mortality, but PPH remains a common obstetric emergency and some women still die from it. How can the risk of PPH be minimised and how should it be managed?
