Postpartum hemorrhage: Could oxytocin be the cause? Results from a morbidity and mortality review to enhance quality, safety, and relevance of care.

Introduction: A sudden postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) increase has been subjectively observed during summer 2018 in our level-3 maternity, despite following all official recommendations for PPH care. This observation led us to conduct a morbi-mortality review to understand morbidity increase reasons.

Methods: We conducted a first retrospective comparative cohort study from 2017 to 2018 to compare PPH rates.
