The Impact of Increasing Caesarean Section on Postpartum Hemorrhage in a Developing Nation: An Observational Approach | Chapter 3 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 15

The goal of the study was to see how an increase in caesarean sections affected postpartum bleeding in a developing country. PPH affects about 5% of all women who give birth, according to the World Health Organization. It is the major cause of maternal mortality in low-income countries, accounting for approximately a quarter of all maternal deaths [1]. PPH has the highest fatality rate due to atonic uterus, which occurs most frequently in multiparous women; nevertheless, the mortality rates in patients who have had previous caesarean section issues with PPH should not be overlooked. These findings strongly imply that the atonic uterus should be actively managed and caesarean procedures should be considered carefully. To preserve the women, all health personnel in the periphery and referral centres must be trained to manage the third stage of labour and the atonic uterus. To avoid maternal morbidity and death, a wise approach to the choice to perform a caesarean section is required.
