Cervical Lacerations

My teaching colleague told the participants about how his grandmother died of a postpartum hemorrhage soon after she gave birth to my colleague’s dad. The doctor at the time did not have the skills or the medications that we now have. More recently my colleague’s daughter also had a postpartum hemorrhage, but the doctor who was caring for her knew what to do and what medications to give to stop the bleeding and save her life.

One of the things that can cause postpartum hemorrhage is a laceration of the cervix. We continued our training today, and one of the elements of the training is practicing suturing cervical lacerations with the Mamanatalie mannequin.
