Recommendations Recommendations for the definition, risk stratification, prevention, treatment (general emergency procedures, medications, uterine tamponade, surgical measures, interventional-radiological procedures, haemostasis, and coagulation management), transportation, documentation and debriefing as well as training are presented.
