Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with uterine atony being the most significant contributing factor. Other risk factors for PPH include increased maternal age, coagulation abnormalities, retained placenta, and prolonged third-stage labor. Despite the potential for prevention through early detection and management, PPH can still occur even in the absence of known risk factors. For this reason, adequate preparation and comprehensive management strategies must be implemented. This study, which comprises research from 2006 to 2023, reviews and analyzes various prevention and management techniques for PPH, including surgical and nonsurgical approaches. Key findings indicate that the presence of well-trained critical control teams is essential for the effective management of PPH. In addition, early detection techniques have significantly reduced mortality outcomes associated with PPH, highlighting their importance in patient care.
