PAD, BLEEDING, POSTPARTUM BLEEDING
For vaginal deliveries, during the third stage of labour, a blood storage dish was inserted under the mother’s buttocks, and a measuring cup was used to determine the blood volume. After the third stage of labour, a nursing pad was placed beneath the buttocks and left in place for 24 hours. The used nursing pad was weighed, and the original weight was subtracted. To calculate the blood volume, the weight differential was multiplied by 1.05. The entire amount of bleeding for the first 24 hours following birth was added to the amount mentioned above.For cesarean sections, the amniotic fluid was first aspirated after the uterine wall was incised. The pressure suction bottle was replaced, and intraoperative blood was collected. A nursing pad was placed under the mother’s buttocks after she returned to the ward. The amount of bleeding was calculated by the weighing method, and the cumulative amount of blood was added to determine 24-h postpartum bleeding.
