PPH is the leading cause of death &
complications in Labor & Delivery
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is preventable, but can kill a woman in hours if it goes undetected and/or untreated. In the US, PPH accounts for 11% of US maternal deaths and occurs in 5% of all births. For every woman who dies, fifty experience morbidities like an unplanned hysterectomy, acute kidney injury (AKI), blood transfusions and PTSD.

Maternal mortality and health inequity are growing in the US
Black mothers die at 3.5 times the rate of white mothers; Native American/Alaskan Indian at 2.5 times. Hispanic maternal mortality rates have grown at +24% over the past two years. If the care team is not vigilant in detecting and treating a hemorrhage, valuable time is lost.
