AB Postpartum  hemorrhage  is  one  of  the  most  common  emergencies  faced  by  obstetricians.  Not  only  is  it  a  leading  cause  of  maternal  morbidity,  but  it  remains  one  of  the  top  three  causes  of  maternal  mortality  throughout  the  world.1,2  In  order  to  manage  postpartum  hemorrhage  effectively,  the  obstetrician  must  have  a  thorough  understanding  of  normal  delivery-related  blood  loss,  physiologic  responses  to  hemorrhage,  the  most  common  etiologies  of  postpartum  hemorrhage,  and  appropriate  therapeutic  interventions.
