Radiology plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of the cause of bleeding with the role of an interventional radiologist being pivotal in the management of these cases. This article provides a pictorial review of angiographic appearance of various uterine vascular abnormality and their management by endovascular technique.

Uterotonics are the mainstay of management for postpartum haemorrhage and an understanding of their use is essential for the obstetric anaesthetist. First-line uterotonics comprise oxytocin and carbetocin, which act on the oxytocin receptor, and recent research has shown that lower doses of first-line uterotonics can be used to adequate effect. The oxytocin receptor is known to undergo desensitisation with exposure to the agonist over time and with increasing concentrations.
