Abstract

Uterine atony is the primary cause of post-partum haemorrhage. Blood loss in a maternity setting is difficult to recognize. Early and empiric use of fixed transfusion red blood cell:plasma:platelet ratios is controversial and may not be justified for all causes of haemorrhage.

Keywords: Hémorragie obstétrique; Major obstetric haemorrhage; Pharmacotherapy and transfusion; Transfusion et pharmacopée.
