UNITE GLOBE @uniteglobenow

🌎AlignMNH, a global initiative for maternal & newborn health, has published their September 2025 newsletter ahead of Global PPH Day on October 5! It features recent advancements in the field & other upcoming opportunities, so we urge you to take a look! mailchi.mp/jhpiego/alignm…

🔖Take a look at this recent assessment of the availability & pricing of #PPH management drugs in Kenya, India, and the DRC. The identified trends in availability could allow for targeted strategies to improve pharmaceutical access in the future #obgyn pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40967656/

🌍Check out this review that identified barriers to effective management of #PPH in Malaysia, ranging from gaps in provider awareness, to unreliable blood loss estimation methods, and even to cultural health-seeking behaviors. #globalhealth #obgyn pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40951112/

📚This Australian study found the use of routine prophylactic Carbetocin, as opposed to Oxytocin, to better reduce the occurrence and severity of PPH in vaginal & cesarean deliveries #PPH #obgyn #globalhealth #maternalhealth Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40890901/

💫 See this call to action for numerous stakeholders, including researchers, policymakers, NGOs, & healthcare providers, to coordinate improvement of postpartum hemorrhage prevention & management. #womenshealth #PPH #obgyn #globalhealth #maternalhealth obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…

✨Take a look at this article which evaluates the use of video-assisted team debriefing to decrease the incidence of postpartum and improve teams' clinical & non-clinical management of PPH #PPH #obgyn #clinicalcare #maternalhealth obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…

📒The study below looked at how language might impact PPH treatments & outcomes. They found that non-English speaking mothers were less likely to receive transfusion, suggesting that more research is needed to understand how language inequity plays a role pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12…

🔖Take a look at this review that addresses a lack of knowledge around the mechanisms, monitoring, & management of failure of intrauterine hemorrhage-control devices (including intrauterine balloon tamponade & the Jada device) #PPH #obgyn #maternalhealth pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40737264/

🌍Join us for the July UNITE GLOBE meeting TOMORROW (7/28) at 9 am EDT / 6 am PST / 2 pm BST! Prof. Pete Lambert will be speaking about improving access to quality-assured oxytocin in resource-poor settings. 💻 No registration needed. Just message us for the Zoom link

Check out this experimental trial in which researchers found a significantly smaller maternal hemoglobin drop after vaginal delivery when they administered oxytocin + TXA prophylactically (as opposed to just oxytocin). #PPH #obgyn #globalhealth #TXA pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40641719/

📑Check out this study that found IV carbetocin to have significantly better results than IV oxytocin in cases of emergency cesarean section, including less maternal blood loss, superior uterine tone, & decreased use of additional uterotonics #PPH pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40539175/

🌟This paper, highlighted in the April UNITE GLOBE Newsletter, shares that skin-to-skin contact between mother & newborn helps decrease maternal blood loss after childbirth. Find the whole newsletter on our website! #PPH #maternalhealth #obgyn #newborn pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

🔖 Check out this article about a single-center study from Indonesia, which demonstrated a significant reduction of blood loss with the use of prophylactic IV tranexamic acid at the time of incision for cesarean section #obgyn #PPH #TXA #womenshealth pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40468921/

💫Take a look at this systematic review outlining how, with training and oversight, Heat-Stable Carbetocin proves to be a sustainable, clinically effective, cost-efficient option for managing PPH and improving maternal outcomes in LMICs #obgyn #PPH pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40487679/

⭐️It’s About Time: Defining Clinical Endpoints for Bleeding in Studies of Women and Girls⭐️ FWGBD Symposium at ISTH 2025 in Washington, DC 2:00 - 5:00 PM ET | Friday, June 20th, 2025 Register here:  fwgbd.org/isth-symposium… See the flyer below for more details!

📘 In this article, Dunn et al. analyzed pharmacokinetic data on Tranexamic acid for treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, with a specific focus on evaluating dosing regimens (fixed vs weight-based) and routes of administration (IV vs intramuscular & oral) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40384366/#full…

🔆Check out this randomized controlled trial comparing the uptake of various forms of oral prophylactic tranexamic acid throughout labor, including solution, tablets, effervescent tablets, as well as IV administration #PPH #obgyn #tranexamicacid pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40270358/#

In this paper, Ozawa et al. makes an economic argument against the use of poor quality uterotonics in low & middle income countries, including Nigeria. The use of substandard medications wastes millions of dollars annually & exacerbates maternal mortality bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/bmjph/…
