Speakers: Beverley Hunt, Jakob Stensballe (Chair), Professor Jonathan Waters, Charlotte Holm
Intended Audience:
midwives, obstetricians, anaesthetists , haematologists, blood bank BMS, intensive care clinicians and transfusion practitioners.
Learning Objectives:
To enlighten the audience on how tranexamic acid and cell salvage, together with early and appropriate use of blood component therapy guided by POC testing may impact of transfusion incidence and have an impact on survival in PPH.
Brief Description:
PPH remains poorly treated in many parts of the world. Maternal death is extremely high in many countries as a result of PPH. More developed countries, despite their wealth and availability of clinicians to deal with the haemorrhage, still have difficulties in controlling this type of haemorrhage. Simple unwashed cell salvage in many developing countries can save lives, but can tranexamic acid be a simple and relatively inexpensive way of helping reduce blood loss and improve survival. As in so many massive haemorrhage situations a coordinated and focuses approach with good well rehearsed communication can improve outcome.
