Managing Postpartum Hemorrhage in the Community Setting
The community midwife’s ability to effectively anticipate and manage postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is critical to the safety of people choosing to give birth at home or in free-standing birth centers. PPH remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for childbearing people in the U.S., even though researchers have identified PPH to be preventable in many cases. This webinar offers practical, evidence-based practices and tools for risk assessment, assessing and quantifying blood loss, the use of medications to manage PPH, what constitutes an adequate formulary of medications for PPH in the community setting, and includes a case presentation.
