Skin-to-skin contact, Postpartum haemorrhage, Labour, Third stageAbstract
Haemorrhage is accepted as the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide from past to present. Haemorrhages that cause maternal deaths are more common in the postpartum period. It is estimated that there is one case of postpartum haemorrhage in every 10 births and one death in every 190 births. Postpartum haemorrhage is a very serious complication of labour. It continues to be among the preventable, direct causes of maternal mortality worldwide. The key point in preventing maternal deaths due to postpartum haemorrhage is primary prevention, early detection and secondary prevention. Primary prevention includes early detection and treatment of anaemia, hospital termination of high-risk pregnancies, active management of the third stage of labour and uteronics. Active management of the third stage of labour is recommended by many organisations for the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage. In addition to active management, there are also studies showing that skin-to-skin contact during the third stage of labour prevents postpartum haemorrhage. There are many studies showing the positive effects of skin-to-skin contact on mother and baby. However, there are few studies on the effects of skin-to-skin contact in the third stage of labour on postpartum haemorrhage. In these studies, it is stated that skin-to-skin contact is effective in preventing uterine atony, increasing oxytocin serum levels and preventing the development of postpartum haemorrhage. The aim of this review is to evaluate the effect of skin-to-skin contact on postpartum haemorrhage by considering the existing literature.
