What is Active Management of Third Stage Labour about?
The document discusses the active management of the third stage of labor to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. It involves three components: the use of oxytocics like oxytocin to help separate the placenta, controlled cord traction to deliver the placenta, and uterine massage after delivery to help the uterus contract. Active management has been shown to reduce the risks of excessive bleeding and retained placenta compared to expectant or physiological management of the third stage.
