Master's project: Quantification of Obstetric Blood Loss

About

• Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is heavy bleeding after birth. If heavy bleeding does occur, it is important that it is recognized very quickly so that a minor haemorrhage doesn’t become a Massive/Major Obstetric Hemorrhage (MOH), which can be life-threatening.
• In association with the Stryker Instruments Innovation Centre in Cork, we are developing a machine to assist midwives or doctors in measuring blood loss rapidly and accurately.
