Obstetrical

Hemorrhage

This project will work focus on improving the care and outcomes for those who experience an obstetrical hemorrhage. 

Intro

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) in Tennessee. Between 2018-2022 hemorrhage accounted for 34% of SMM indicators, which is more than double the number of respiratory morbidities which is the second common category. 

Hemorrhage also accounted for 37% of pregnancy related deaths occurring on the day of delivery from 2018-2022 in Tennessee.
