Care bundles for management of obstetrical hemorrhage

Peripartum hemorrhage is one of the most preventable causes of maternal mortality worldwide. Much effort has been directed toward creating programs that address deficits in maternity care responsible for preventable hemorrhage-related morbidity and mortality. To have a significant impact on outcomes, such programs must address both providers and processes involved in the delivery of maternity care. At the core of a successful program, are standardized care bundles integrating medical and surgical techniques for managing hemorrhage with principles of transfusion medicine and critical care.
