Abstract

Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the most commonly encountered obstetrical complications. Decreases in maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity have continued to be achieved despite the increasing incidence of obstetric hemorrhage over time through the diligent efforts of quality improvement initiatives. Approaches currently advocated to optimize the management of obstetrical hemorrhage are presented and discussed in this chapter focusing on readiness, recognition and prevention, clinical response, patient support, and tracking and monitoring outcome and performance measures over time. Readers are encouraged to access publicly available programs from state-based perinatal quality collaboratives and national programs designed to support and structure such efforts.
