The document provides guidelines for the prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). It defines PPH and notes that major PPH should prompt emergency measures. Active management of the third stage of labor, including prophylactic oxytocics, reduces the risk of PPH by about 60%. Risk factors for PPH can be identified antenatally, and care plans should account for such risks. Oxytocin is recommended for preventing PPH in vaginal and cesarean deliveries, though other options exist. Special precautions should be taken for women with placenta accreta/percreta.
