AB In  addition  to  hypertension  and  infection,  obstetrical  hemorrhage  remains  among  the  infamous  triad  of  maternal  death  causes.  Of  more  than  7000  pregnancy-related  maternal  deaths  in  the  United  States  from  2006  to  2015,  hemorrhage  was  a  direct  cause  in  11  percent  (Creanga,  2015,  2017;  Petersen,  2019).  Hemorrhage  is  also  the  single  most  important  cause  of  maternal  death  worldwide  (Goffman,  2016;  Oladapo,  2016).  Notably,  perhaps  a  third  of  severe  cases  of  hemorrhage  are  likely  preventable  (Lepine,  2020).
