Brief Summary  

Postpartum haemorrhage can be a traumatic experience for individuals. Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the most common cause of maternal mortality worldwide. It is classically defined as excessive loss of blood with a threshold of 500 ml or more after vaginal delivery or 1000 ml or more after a caesarean section. PPH can happen suddenly and requires prompt medical intervention.The primary cause of PPH is often attributed to uterine atony, which is delineated as inability of the uterus to properly contract after placental delivery. Therefore it is a necessity to avoid uterine atony during caesarean delivery which indeed serves as a crucial step to avoid post partum haemorrhage. Currently for the prophylaxis of PPH we give Oxytocin, Carbetocin and use of second line uterotonics, including Carboprost, Misoprost etc.
