Answers 100% Pass

hemorrhage?

postpartum hemorrhage?




✔✔ Uterine balloon tamponade is indicated when bleeding is due to uterine atony unresponsive

to medication and other non-surgical interventions.




How might preeclampsia or eclampsia influence the risk and management of postpartum

hemorrhage?

abnormalities and higher incidence of uterine atony. Management includes controlling blood

pressure and monitoring for signs of bleeding.
