Step 1 / 1 · 4 T's cause + resuscitation

PPH (≥1000 mL or with signs of hypovolemia) — which T is the main cause?

💡 PPH = cumulative blood loss ≥1000 mL within 24 h of birth, or with signs of hypovolemia (any mode of delivery). The 4 T's: Tone (uterine atony, ~80%), Trauma (genital tract), Tissue (retained placenta), Thrombin (coagulopathy). Start resuscitation in parallel (IV access, fluids/transfusion, call for help, monitoring).
