Postpartum hemorrhage occurs when a woman loses more than 500 mL of  blood in a normal delivery and more than 1000mL of blood in a cesarean delivery within 24 hours.

The four “Ts” serve as a reminder of factors associated with PPH: tone, trauma, tissue, and thrombin.

Early vs Late PPH

An early (primary) PPH occurs within the first 24 hours after childbirth.

The blood flow to the uterus is between 500 and 800 mL/minute, and the placental site contains multiple exposed venous areas and low resistance

 

A late (secondary) PPH occurs from 24 hours to 12 weeks after childbirth

Late PPH occurs in only 1% to 2% of all childbearing women, usually within the first 2 weeks after birth.

Retained placental fragments are the most common cause of late PPH.

A lack of uterine tone (atony) and genital tract trauma are the most common conditions that cause PPH
