Postpartum Hemorrhage
Postpartum hemorrhage remains a major cause of maternal morbidity
and mortality worldwide. The causes of postpartum hemorrhage can be divided into
uterine and
nonuterine causes. The most frequent uterine causes are atony and retained placental
products. Other uterine causes include uterine rupture and uterine inversion. Nonuterine
causes include vaginal tears, perineal hematoma, and maternal coagulopathy.
