Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening emergency in obstetrics. In some critical cases, hemostasis is hard to achieve even after a hysterectomy has been performed. Early, effective and preferably non-invasive treatments that can reduce maternal mortality and morbidity are therefore essential. Recombinant activated factor seven (rFVIIa) has been reported as a promising adjuvant therapy for obstetric hemorrhage, although it remains unlicensed for this indication. We are presenting four cases of primary PPH successfully managed using rFVIIa.
