The Association Between Shock Index and Severity of Postpartum Blood Loss

Completed

• Conditions: Postpartum Hemorrhage

• Registration Number: NCT03135158
• Lead Sponsor: Gynuity Health Projects

Brief Summary

The present study aims to determine the relationship between postpartum changes in the shock index and the severity of blood loss and other PPH results. Blood loss, heart rate and blood pressure will be systematically measured in the postpartum period in all participating women to explore new clinical indicators to identify those requiring clinical intervention for excessive bleeding.
