Postpartum Hemorrhage in Humanitarian Settings: Implementation Insights from Using Heat-Stable Carbetocin and Tranexamic Acid
HSC and TXA integrated into a PPH intervention package were overall positively valued by providers in humanitarian settings. Continued education and support are crucial. Addressing challenges like medication confusion underscores the need for ongoing education and clear guidelines for the use of HSC, TXA, oxytocin, and other drugs for PPH prevention and treatment. Our findings stress the importance of a comprehensive strategy to overcome health system barriers in PPH management, potentially improving maternal health outcomes in resource-limited and fragile contexts, with broader global implications.
