Abstract
Postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal mortality, accounting for a substantial number of preventable deaths globally. Despite advances in obstetric care, challenges persist in timely PPH detection, necessitating a focused audit to address these issues. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a significant concern in maternal health, is considered within the timeframe of the first 24 hours up to 6 weeks postpartum. However, it is during the initial 24 hours that PPH poses the greatest threat to maternal health, making early detection crucial for preventable interventions. Maternal mortality rates can be greatly reduced by promptly identifying and addressing postpartum hemorrhage. Understanding the intricacies of early PPH detection is imperative, especially given the practical difficulties in continuously monitoring vital parameters. To circumvent this challenge, assessing the amount of blood loss becomes a key indicator. Notably, continuous postpartum bleeding equivalent to the saturation of one sanitary pad with blood per hour for more than two hours demands immediate medical attention. This underscores the critical importance of timely detection for effective intervention.
