Today we began our Helping Mothers Survive: Bleeding After Birth course. We taught 17 physicians and 2 nurses who will assist us in teaching a larger group later in the week. We began with an opening ceremonies in which a representative of the DRC Ministry of Health spoke as well as the local Area Seventy.
In the updated curriculum, we use the acronym E-MOTIVE to MOTIVATE the participants to remember the steps to treating postpartum hemorrhage:
Early detection
Massage the uterus to get it to contract
Oxytocin-give this medication to help the uterus contract
TXA-also give the medication Tranexamic Acid to reduce bleeding
IV-start an IV
Examen the patient to find the cause of bleeding
