Prevention and treatment of postpartum haemorrhage

Open to students

We're researching postpartum haemorrhage prevention and the use of the non-pneumatic antishock garment to treat postpartum bleeding.

Postpartum haemorrhage is commonly defined as a blood loss of 500 ml or more within 24 hours after birth and affects about 5% of all women giving birth around the world.

Globally, nearly a quarter of all maternal deaths are associated with postpartum haemorrhage, and in most low-income countries it is the main cause of maternal mortality.
