Managing Obstetric Haemorrhage: A Case Series on Emergency Peripartum Hysterectomy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Emergency Peripartum Hysterectomy (EPH) remains a life-saving intervention for obstetric haemorrhage when bleeding is unresponsive to conservative measures. This case series highlights the clinical profiles and outcomes of four women who underwent EPH at a tertiary care center in India over the course of one year. The cases involved risk factors such as Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS), uterine rupture, and prior cesarean sections. The findings emphasise the importance of early recognition of highrisk conditions and prompt escalation to surgical management. This series offers valuable insights into the complexities of managing obstetric haemorrhage and reinforces the essential role of a coordinated team approach in improving maternal outcomes.
