OB Hemorrhage

 

Obstetric (OB) hemorrhage is a leading cause of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality but has major opportunities for improved outcomes. The CMQCC OB Hemorrhage Expert Task Force, co-chaired by David Lagrew, MD and Audrey Lyndon, PhD, RN, has developed best practice documents to distribute throughout CA. As a first step, we conducted a statewide survey of hospitals with maternity services to assess their capabilities and resources for hemorrhage response. The goal of the Taskforce was to collect and publish tools that would aid EVERY birthing unit to better identify and respond to this common obstetric emergency.
