Although the diagnostic use of ultrasound has been well established in the management of antepartum problems, its place in the postpartum period has not been widely recognized. Fifty-six patients with postpartum bleeding underwent ultrasonic evaluation of postpartum uterus. Retained placental tissue was found in 9, and large blood clots in 5 patients. Forty-two patients who were found to have an empty uterus were treated conservatively with intravenous oxytocin infusion. The ultrasonic diagnosis correlated well with the clinical findings and with response to treatment. The results of the study encouraged the authors to continue the investigation, which thus far favors the routine use of ultrasound in managing postpartum bleeding.
尽管超声诊断在产前问题的处理中已得到广泛应用，但其在产后阶段的作用尚未得到广泛认可。56例产后出血患者接受了产后子宫的超声评估。9例发现有胎盘组织残留，5例发现有大血块。42例子宫内无残留物的患者接受了静脉滴注催产素的保守治疗。超声诊断与临床发现及治疗反应密切相关。该研究结果鼓励作者继续进行调查，目前的研究结果支持在处理产后出血时常规使用超声。
