Thank you so much for posting this. I am a nursing student with a post-partum simulation coming up which may include PPH, so seeing how this simulation played out was a great help!
I had preeclampsia. I hemorrhaged 6 hours after my son was born. I got up to go to the bathroom and a huge clot dropped into the toilet. Huge, like a soft ball. My room immediately became insane! I had like 7 people in the room. They were standing over me, on step bench, and pushing on my stomach with all their might. I could feel the clots coming out. In between all this they changed my sheets like 4 times. I had no symptoms before the hemorrhage started. They put on whatever that stuff is called they used to induce my labor. I would of rather had my son again. It wasn’t like this at all.
I am sorry you had those experiences. Our hope is that by making this available, nurses will continue to train in the latest standard of care so that women experience good outcomes when these emergencies arise.
I had this right after my baby came out, my OB instructed my husband to get out and i dont know what was happening, like 10 nurses around me, both hands had iv and the doctor always ask me to open mouth and toungue out to check something and still i dont know what was happening, she call the bigger hospital to standby and nobody tell me what happens, they put a catheter on me and that was my first time. I gave birth around 5am but trnasferred to my room around 11am . Only at the time of my discharged they told me that i was having pph and i need 10bags of iron at 5 sessions, i stayed only one day in the hospital but came back everyday for 5 days to take the iron which is very hard because im nursing my baby. I gave birth at the age of 41 and considered elderly, pre diabetic and pre hypertension that time, high risked pregnancy.
that would take too long and hemorrhage is an emergency that requires immediate help. setting the scanner may take time, DR needs to be notified immediately,

It’s so scary way more painful than labor. I nearly died had to have a emergency hysterectomy.Sorry you suffered the trauma of this

Hey Dawnette!! I pulled up this video for some refresher and was so pleasantly surprised to recognize your voice. I am working L&D at Madigan
PPH is also extremely painful when getting all the procedures done. Where pain management? Has and air?
Thanks for this video. I learned something about the medications and risk for postpartum hemmorage.

Great simulation! One of my favorite cases is PPH. #SimTribe
The blood hits the curtains and walls. This nurse knows
Why , action is taken so late
at 4 minutes, shouldn't she have felt and massage the fundus?...administer pain med...give her privacy?
I was confused for a second
I just noticed the baby doll in this video.
I noticed that a doctor came in to delegate. Could a nurse take charge and delegate during a scenario like this?
Isra Khan if they needed. Usually it's the main doc in emergency situations but they aren't always available.
The doctor came to order meds too, a nurse cannot do this
why didn't she check to see if her bladder was full with a scanner and empty it? im confused.

pph is common after 24 weeks it is true
Am I the only one to see those long hairs:p
This is a real bad video. Also really bad management.
