Multicenter StudyA population-based analysis of French transfusion practices for women experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage.
Transfusion is a major therapy for severe postpartum hemorrhage but there are few population-based descriptions of practice. The objective of this retrospective French population-based study was to describe transfusion practices in women with severe postpartum hemorrhage and the compliance with guidelines. ⋯ One in five women with severe postpartum hemorrhage and a low hemoglobin concentration did not receive blood transfusion, which does not comply with French national recommendations. Over-transfusion occurred in women in whom bleeding had been controlled. The use of tools to help clinicians with transfusion decision-making should be developed.
