Sommario/riassunto

Effective treatment of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) often requires simultaneous multidisciplinary interventions. The health care provider needs to begin resuscitative efforts quickly, establish the cause of the haemorrhage, and possibly obtain the assistance of other care providers, such as an obstetrician, anaesthetist or radiologist.
