Abstrakt: Massive bleeding in obstetrics still ranks among the most frequent causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most frequent type is primary postpartum hemorrhage, which is usually the result of an atonic uterus. The clinical priorities are to assure hemodynamic stability and to correct coagulation abnormalities. If pharmacologic treatment cannot achieve these goals, invasive methods such as interventional vascular radiology or artery ligation must be used. Hysterectomy is the last resort when the previous methods fail. For the best prognosis, in terms of preventing death, maintaining maternal fertility and minimizing morbidity, every maternity ward should have a well-defined multidisciplinary protocol that facilitates diagnosis and immediate treatment.
