• Clinicians should consider the use of intravenous tranexamic acid (0.5–1.0 g), in addition to oxytocin, at caesarean section to reduce blood loss in women at increased risk of PPH.
• Consideration should be given to the use of tranexamic acid in the management of PPH.
• According to a Cochrane review- blood loss greater than 400 or 500 ml was less
  common in women who received tranexamic acid in addition to the usual uterotonic agent after vaginal
  birth or caesarean section in a dosage of 1 or 0.5 g intravenously. Tranexamic acid was effective in
  decreasing the incidence of blood loss greater than 1000 ml in women who had undergone caesarean section but not vaginal birth. Further studies are required to investigate the risk of serious adverse effects, including thromboembolic events.

In clinically suspected DVT or PE, treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) should be commenced immediately until the diagnosis is excluded by objective testing, unless treatment is strongly contraindicated.

Compression duplex ultrasound should be undertaken where there is clinical suspicion of DVT.
If ultrasound is negative and there is a low level of clinical suspicion, anticoagulant treatment can be discontinued.

If ultrasound is negative and a high level of clinical suspicion exists, anticoagulant
treatment should be discontinued but the ultrasound should be repeated on days 3 and 7.

Intravenous unfractionated heparin is the preferred, initial treatment in massive PE with cardiovascular compromise.

The correct answer is- 11 g/ 100 ml at first contact and 10.5 g/100 ml at 28 weeks.

Haemoglobin outside this range should be investigated and iron supplementation considered if indicated.

Pregnant women should be offered screening for anaemia. Screening should
take place early in pregnancy (at the booking appointment) and at 28 weeks
when other blood screening tests are being performed. This allows enough time
for treatment if anaemia is detected.

After undertaking a detailed clinical history and examination, perform
multichannel filling and voiding cystometry before surgery for stress urinary
incontinence in women who have anterior or apical prolapse.

Before surgery- an MDT should review the proposed treatment. And before surgery, women should be asked for consent for their data to be entered in a national registry.

• If pharmacological measures fail to control the haemorrhage, surgical interventions should be initiated sooner rather than later.
• Intrauterine balloon tamponade is an appropriate first-line ‘surgical’ intervention for most women where uterine atony is the only or main cause of haemorrhage.
