Obstetric bleeding: modern approaches to diagnosis, prevention and treatment

Despite improvements in the quality of medical care worldwide, maternal mortality (MM) claims up to 300,000 women's lives every year [1]. According to statistics, the risk of maternal mortality in developing countries is 100 times higher than in Europe [2, 3]. The leading cause of MD today is still obstetric hemorrhage. The risk of hemorrhage among pregnant women exists from the early stages of pregnancy and throughout its duration. Postpartum hemorrhage, accompanied by massive blood loss, hemorrhagic shock, and multiple organ failure, causes particularly serious damage to women's health and even their lives. Key words: hemorrhage, massive blood loss, pregnancy, maternal mortality.
