Postpartum hemorrhage is excessive bleeding during or after delivery. It can be caused by issues with uterine contraction (tone), retained placental tissue, trauma during delivery, or preexisting clotting disorders (thrombosis). There are two types: early hemorrhage within 24 hours of delivery, often due to uterine atony or lacerations, and late hemorrhage between 24 hours to 4 weeks, usually due to infection or incomplete placental delivery. Nursing care focuses on fundal massage, monitoring vitals, keeping the mother supine and bladder empty.
