This study aimed to develop an international expert’s consensus on evidence-based approaches for early detection and obstetric first response management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) intraoperatively and postoperatively in caesarean birth. Findings present the proposed agreed on approaches that could help improve the detection of PPH in the intraoperative and postoperative phases of caesarean birth and the first response management of intraoperative PPH. Determining how best to implement these strategies is a critical next step.
