Preventing PPH: Evidence-
based management of
third stage of labor
My name is….
Learning objectives
Define active management of third stage of labor (AMTSL)
Develop an evidence-based approach for the third stage of
labor
Cord traction and clamping
Role of uterine massage
Prophylactic uterotonics
Timing of prophylactic uterotonics
Outline
Overviews of the following:
Cochrane reviews
Meta-analyses
No financial disclosures
Background
• Most significant cause of maternal death
worldwide
• 140k women/year
• 5-15% of all births, 2-3% in USA
• 4/1000 births with severe blood loss
• Rise in postpartum hemorrhage in US
Definitions
• vaginal birth:
• Mild: >500 mL
• Severe: >1000 mL
• Primary vs secondary
• Primary: 1st 24 hrs
• Secondary: after 24 hrs
Case
34yo G3P2 at 38+5, with uncomplicated pregnancy, history of 2 term
vaginal deliveries, presents in active labor, 8cm dilated, and
progresses to complete
Case
IS THIS THE BEST PRACTICE?
Third Stage of labor: the shorter the better?
AMTSLActive Management of Third Stage of Labor
Why the rush?
Active vs passive management
Early cord clamping and cutting
Active vs passive management
Controlled cord traction
Active vs passive management
Prophylactic uterotonic
Placenta: cord clamping
Early versus delayed/late
Focus: maternal outcomes
Placenta: cord clamping
Cochrane Review 2013, Mcdonald et al.
15 trials
3911 women/infant pairs
Placenta: cord clamping
OUTCOMES:
Mild PPH
Severe PPH
mean blood loss
pre and post delivery HgB
Take home point:
clamp now or later?
we can wait another minute
Placenta: cord drainage
Placenta: cord drainage
Cochrane Review, Soltani et al 2011
3 trials
1257 women
Placenta: cord drainage
blood loss
length of third stage of labour
Take home point:
to drain or not to drain?
provider preference
Placenta: cord traction
Controlled cord traction versus spontaneous expulsion
Placenta: cord traction
RCT, 4355 women, half control
Outcomes:
Mild PPH > 500 mL
Severe PPH > 1000mL
Duration
Manual removal of placenta
Women’s experience of third stage
Placenta: cord traction
Postpartum hemorrhage
Duration of third stage of labor
Uterine inversion
Cord rupture
Manual removal of placenta
Patient experience
Take home point:
to pull or not to pull?
no harm, some benefit
Uterine massage
Uterine Massage
Cochrane review, Hofmeyr et al, 2013, with 2 trials
Massage between infant and placental delivery:
No benefit
Massage after delivery of placenta:
Improved blood loss
Decreased need for additional uterotonics
Take home point:
Should I massage?
Maybe.
Prophylactic uterotonic
oxytocin
Uterotonics
oxytocin
misoprostol
ergonovine (i.e. methergine)
Uterotonic: oxytocin
10 IU IM
10-40 IU per 500-1000 mL solution
Oxytocin: timing
Cochrane Review,
Soltani et al,
2010
3 RCTs with 1671
participants
Oxytocin: Timing
Timing: before or after placenta removal
End points: mild and severe PPH, retained placenta, length of
third stage of labour, changes in HgB, incidence of maternal
hypotension
3 RCTs, 1671 women, IV oxytocin
No significant difference
Take home point:
Before or after placenta?
Whenever you or your RN
can start it.
Big take home points
Take home point:
clamp now or later?
we can wait another minute
Take home point:
to drain or not to drain?
provider preference
Take home point:
to pull or not to pull?
no harm, some benefit
Take home point:
Should I massage?
depends on when
Take home point:
Which uterotonic?
Oxytocin
Timing of uterotonic?
Whenever you or your RN
can start it.
