Policies for manual removal of placenta at vaginal delivery: variations in timing within Europe.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The length of the third stage of labour is a potential modifiable risk factor for postpartum haemorrhage at vaginal delivery, but there is no definitive evidence that early intervention to remove the placenta manually will prevent postpartum haemorrhage. We report a wide variation between countries in Europe in policies about the timing of manual removal of placenta. Two groups of countries with clearly divergent policies were identified. A randomised controlled trial is needed to provide definitive evidence on the risks and benefits of manual removal of placenta at different timings after vaginal delivery.

متن کاملTiming of delivery for women with stable placenta previa.
Women with placenta previa are at increased risks for complications related to obstetrical hemorrhage and the need for emergent delivery.
