Description of CME Course
The maternal death rate is on the rise around the world, and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) plays a major factor. In the US, PPH accounts for 11% of maternal deaths and is the leading cause of death on the day of birth. PPH is one of the most common diagnoses resulting in medical malpractice allegations, accounting for 15% of maternal injury claims. Failure to manage excessive blood loss and stabilize the patient quickly can lead to maternal morbidity and mortality which increases malpractice risk exposure. This is the ninth of 14 modules within our PPH series. This course focuses on non-surgical strategies used by a multidisciplinary team to stabilize patients experiencing PPH. Risk reduction strategies and recommendations to decrease PPH-related malpractice allegations are highlighted.
