Project details
What we are trying to achieve
- Reduce the number of women having a MOH/LTH
- Reduce the number of women requiring ICU level 3 care due to PPH
- To reduce the morbidity associated with PPH in ROI in 3 years:
- Reduce the number of women requiring ≥ 5 units of red blood cells
- Achieve a reduction in Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) Coagulation transfusion
- Ensure PPH/MOH are discussed at risk management meetings
- Encourage staff and patient debriefing following a PPH/MOH
- Reduce the women receiving hysterectomy due to PPH
The process
- Collate an overview of all the clinical practices related to PPH in all 19 units with a view to examining what is working in some units and to provide an opportunity for shared learning.
- Collect data on all PPH/MOH cases
- Move all units to a standard process of measurement of blood loss after delivery
- Develop a staged approach checklist/standardised proforma for the management of PPH
- Update national guidelines to include definition update and checklist
