FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH PRIMARY POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE

Abstract

Throughout the world, primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) has become one of the most common complications for mothers following childbirth, resulting in avoidable mortality. It is excessive bleeding following childbirth that happens within the first twenty-four hours following delivery. It can lead to many other serious problems if not identified and treated in a timely manner. In this research, we seek to find out the determinants of primary postpartum hemorrhage in women who have given birth in hospitals. Some of the maternal factors, as well as obstetric and labor factors, that are associated with PPH, are as follows: maternal age, parity, history of PPH, anemia, prolonged labor, multiple pregnancies, and placental abnormalities. To design effective preventive interventions, and to achieve safe and successful maternal outcomes, associated determinants should be identified. This research is aimed at women who were identified as being at risk, as well as those who provide care, in order to design and implement effective interventions in a timely manner during the antenatal and natal periods, as well as the postpartum time. A systematic approach has been designed to care for and manage the associated clinical factors of primary postpartum hemorrhage. Obstetric histories, as well as demographic factors, will be the focus of this research. The outcomes of this research will be focused on improving the care of mothers following childbirth. Care practices are aimed to reduce avoidable complications associated with postpartum hemorrhage.
