Intrapartum bleeding.
Nurses must be alert to a variety of causes for intrapartum bleeding. Some of these are anticipated events, for which the healthy childbearing woman is physiologically prepared. Other causes of blood loss during childbirth are unanticipated, life threatening, and require immediate response from care providers. This paper discusses some of the more frequently mentioned sources of blood loss during the intrapartum period and management of the conditions.
