Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. In some instances, PPH can be anticipated and recent improvements in obstetric imaging techniques allow earlier and more reliable diagnosis of abnormalities associated with haemorrhage such as morbid placentation. However, the majority of PPH is unpredicted. Good practice notes published by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists state interventional radiology should be used as emergency intervention in PPH and should be considered when primary management has failed allowing arteries to be embolised to achieve haemostasis. Through collaboration between interventional radiology and maternity, appropriate guidelines need to be developed, on both emergency and elective of interventional radiology in the prevention and management of PPH. As there is mapping for neonatal services, in the future there should be consideration to develop obstetric trauma units. Maternity units which lack facilities for interventional radiology would be able to refer their cases (like placenta accreta) for safe management in units with 24 h interventional radiology services. |
