Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. In India, PPH affects approximately 12% of women. The prevention and management of PPH are the significant challenges in obstetrics, with accurate assessment of blood loss and timely intervention being critical. Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor is a gold standard strategy for prevention. Recent advancements in PPH management include the use of recombinant activated factor VIIa, which has shown promise in decreasing the need for invasive procedures and second-line therapies. Additionally, surgical and radiological interventions have been effective in cases of refractory PPH. Overall, ongoing research and advancements in PPH management continue to enhance the quality of care and maternal outcomes experiencing this potentially life-threatening complication of childbirth. This editorial explores prevention and management of Atonic PPH with encompassing medical and surgical strategies, to enhance understanding and optimize clinical care for mothers at risk of this obstetric emergency.
