Accepted Answer

Terbutaline is the medicine which is used to treat treating postpartum hemorrhage.It is typical for people without hemorrhage risk factors to experience postpartum hemorrhage. To lower its occurrence, routine active treatment of the third stage of labor should be employed. The most significant and useful aspect of this procedure is the use of oxytocin following anterior shoulder delivery. For the prevention and treatment of uterine atony, oxytocin is more effective than misoprostol and has fewer side effects. Episiotomies should not be performed routinely to prevent laceration and blood loss. An early diagnosis and course of therapy are necessary for the proper management of postpartum hemorrhage.The four most prevalent causes of postpartum hemorrhage may be identified and treated using the Four T's mnemonic (uterine atony [Tone]; laceration, hematoma, inversion, rupture [Trauma]; retained tissue or invasive placenta [Tissue]; and coagulopathy [Thrombin]). Regardless of the source, prompt team-based therapy reduces postpartum hemorrhage-related morbidity and death. Massive transfusion procedures provide a prompt and effective treatment to hemorrhages that result in a blood loss of more than 1,500 mL.To know more about postpartum hemorrhage visit:https://brainly.com/question/28484524#SPJ4
