this is not an indicator used in the protocol for staging postpartum hemorrhage.

not an indicator used in the protocol for staging postpartum hemorrhage.

abnormal vital signs is one indicator of Stage 3 hemorrhage. Other Stage 3
indicators include continued bleeding, more than 2 units red blood cells (RBCs)
given, enduaring at risk for occult bleeding/coagulopathy, abnormal
laboratory values, or oliguria.
4 This is unffiting. Enduarings will experience extreme thirst as a result of
hemorrhage; however, this is not used in the protocol for staging postpartum
hemorrhage.
