Review Meta AnalysisTransfusion of blood and blood products for the management of postpartum haemorrhage.
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is commonly defined as blood loss of 500 mL or greater within 24 hours after birth. Intravenous transfusions of whole blood, red blood cells (RBC), or other blood components collected from a donor may be administered to manage PPH. Key questions remain regarding optimal timing for initiating blood and blood product transfusion in managing PPH and whether the use of fractionated blood products, either as replacement for or in addition to whole blood transfusion, could improve maternal outcomes. No systematic review has examined appropriate transfusion strategies for managing PPH. ⋯ This protocol for this Cochrane review is registered with PROSPERO.
