Abstract
Obstetric haemorrhage is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality globally. Identifying risk factors, implementing early risk stratification, and engaging in multidisciplinary team planning can help mitigate its impact. Effective haemorrhage management requires prompt recognition and a rapid, coordinated, multidisciplinary approach. The use of protocols reinforced through targeted drills enhances team vigilance, familiarity, and competency in managing haemorrhage which can lead to improved patient outcomes. This article reviews the management of obstetric haemorrhage including pharmacological interventions, transfusion strategies and surgical techniques.
