What are the measurement methods of postpartum hemorrhage

summary

I don't have a mother-in-law, so I take care of the baby by myself after giving birth. Now I just walk out of bed on the third day after giving birth. But my abdomen is very swollen. When I go to the toilet, I still bleed, and the amount of bleeding is very large. Let's talk about the measurement methods of postpartum hemorrhage.

What are the measurement methods of postpartum hemorrhage

First: blood loss (ML) = [wet weight of dressing after delivery (g) - dry weight of dressing before delivery (g)] / 1. 05 (blood relative density g / ml). According to this method, we can accurately evaluate the amount of bleeding, but the operation of this method is cumbersome, the practical feasibility is small, and the amount of bleeding can not be accurately estimated after the dressing is soaked in amniotic fluid.

Second: after collecting blood with postpartum blood container, put it into the measuring cup to measure the amount of bleeding. This method is the same as the weighing method, for the mixed amniotic fluid, the measurement value is not accurate. Clinically, it is mainly used in the process of vaginal delivery. After the second stage of labor, a blood receiver is placed under the buttock of the puerpera to measure the amount of blood loss during labor.

Third: area method, according to the blood gauze or maternal pad blood wet area rough estimate of blood loss. The disadvantage of this method is that different estimators have different grasp of the wet degree of gauze or pad, which leads to inaccurate estimation of blood loss.
