What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the impact of implementing a Patient Blood Management (PBM) protocol on the rate of blood transfusions in women experiencing delivery hemorrhage. Conducted at the Sainte Musse hospital in Toulon, the study will compare data from a retrospective period before the protocol's implementation with a prospective period following its introduction. The PBM protocol includes measures to manage anemia and bleeding, such as screening for anemia and providing iron and vitamin supplementation. The study spans from January 2023 to December 2025.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women who have experienced delivery hemorrhage, regardless of the mode of delivery.

Not a fit: Patients who are minors, under legal protection, have hemoglobinopathies, or refuse to participate will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the need for blood transfusions during delivery, improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar Patient Blood Management approaches, indicating potential for success in this context.
