Package to cut postpartum deaths
The World Health Organization and The Lancet magazine have revealed a new series concerning postpartum hemorrhage, which affects approximately 27 million women annually and is the leading cause of maternal deaths worldwide, with an estimated 43,000 deaths each year. The series explains that implementing a response package that includes five simultaneous therapeutic interventions can reduce the risk of death or the need for surgery by 60% when 300 milliliters of blood are lost. These interventions include uterotonic drugs, tranexamic acid, intravenous fluids, rapid assessments to identify the source of bleeding, with an emphasis on early detection and prompt treatment.
