By relatively simple means

Postpartum Hemorrhage and Transfusion of Blood and Blood Components
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2005Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the top 5 causes of maternal mortality in developed and developing countries. The incidence of PPH is 40% after vaginal delivery and 30% after cesarean section. Criteria for PPH are based on the amount of blood loss. In clinical obstetrics, exact measurement of blood loss is often difficult.
