Abstract

The postpartum period is the time after delivery when physiological changes by the pregnancy return to the previous state. Primary postpartum haemorrhage takes place during the first 24 hours, and secondary postpartum haemorrhage occurs between 24 hours and 6 weeks after delivery. Many disorders can occur in the immediate postpartum period, there is a considerable source of morbidity and mortality in women of reproductive age, which can be mild to severe and life-threatening. Protocols aimed at the multidisciplinary management of postpartum haemorrhage, and together with the use of coadjuvant hemostatic agents, the activation of massive transfusion protocols in a responsible manner, and surgical management have improved the prognosis of these patients.
