Latest strategies for prevention and management of PPH

Appropriate management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. However, there's some debate on various PPH prevention and management strategies and the corresponding scientific evidence. What do you believe is the right strategy to prevent and treat PPH?

In this third episode of a four-part podcast series on severe PPH, Prof. Loïc Sentilhes (Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chairman of the Gynecology and Obstetric Department at Bordeaux University Hospital, France) and Prof. Christian von Heymann (Chief Physician of the Clinic for Anesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine and Pain Therapy and Medical Director at the Vivantes Clinic in Friedrichshain, Germany) discuss various topics on the treatment of severe PPH, and we also explore the scientific evidence combined with the clinical experience of the experts.

With Dr Homa Ahmadzia as moderator, experts share learnings from their own clinical practice and explore: (1) The role of prophylactic tranexamic acid to prevent PPH, (2) When to initiate blood transfusions or other blood products, (3) Pharmacological treatments and their use and (4) The importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in the management in PPH.
