Consensus-based Statement 9.S6
It is therefore essential that all hospitals with obstetric departments develop a treatment algorithm for peri-/postpartum haemorrhage which is adapted to the specific conditions in the respective hospital 46 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 . The aim must be to identify haemorrhaging patients early on and describe the appropriate interdisciplinary surgical, interventional and haemostatic treatment to manage the bleeding. This algorithm should define the approach for the treatment process based on the clinical situation and take account of all available treatment options (pharmacological therapies, interventional procedures, surgical interventions).
