Practice Problem: The practice problem identified involved the inconsistent measurement of blood loss during the postpartum period due to the standard practice of estimating blood loss. Estimates are subjective measures that can have variable results based on interpretation and thus provide minimal meaningful data.
PICOT: The question that guided this project was structured in the following PICOT format. In postpartum women (P), how does the implementation of quantitative blood loss measurements (I), compared to estimated blood loss measurement (C), affect the early identification of severe hemorrhage (O), during the recovery period (T)?
Evidence: Obstetric hemorrhage is a preventable event that …

Postpartum hemorrhage remains a leading cause of maternal mortality in the United States. Postpartum hemorrhage occurs when mothers are bleeding excessively, have uterine atony, or the placenta has failed to come out completely. Research has shown that quantitative methods of blood loss estimation revealed a higher incidence of PPH than visual estimation. That is why using quantitative methods on time is essential for diagnosing PPH. Quantification of blood loss should be replaced by estimated blood loss since it is more accurate. The project's main focus was implementing quantification of blood loss and using the Triton Scale, a smart system to …
