The Role of the Anesthesiologist in Management of Obstetric Hemorrhage

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Hemorrhage after childbirth, whether the delivery is vaginal or operative, is a clinical situation where knowledge, communication, and the availability and utilization of resources all play prominent roles. In this article we describe the thought processes and decisions that should occur, and the actions that should be taken by the anesthesiologist in the face of suspected, expected, or unexpected hemorrhage in the labor and delivery suite.
