Peripartum Haemorrhage, Diagnosis and Therapy. Guideline of the DGGG, OEGGG and SGGG (S2k, AWMF Registry No. 015-063, August 2022)

Abstract

Aim This official guideline was coordinated and published by the German Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (DGGG). The guideline aims to provide a consensus-based overview of the diagnosis and management of peripartum bleeding based on an evaluation of the relevant literature.

Methods This S2k-guideline was developed by representative members from different medical professions on behalf of the guidelines commission of the DGGG, OEGGG and SGGG using a structured consensus process.

Recommendations Recommendations for the definition, risk stratification, prevention, treatment (general emergency procedures, medications, uterine tamponade, surgical measures, interventional-radiological procedures, haemostasis, and coagulation management), transportation, documentation and debriefing as well as training are presented. In addition, a PPH algorithm for action, “PPH 2022”, is recommended.

Key words

postpartum haemorrhage - postpartum bleeding - placenta accreta spectrum - PPH algorithm - uterotonic drugs - tranexamic acid - tamponade - surgical procedures - compression sutures - embolization - haemostasis and coagulation management - anaesthetic management - autotransfusion
