Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and is often preventable with timely, evidence-based care. This quality improvement project focuses on reducing PPH through active management of the third stage of labor and use of standardized hemorrhage protocols. Guided by the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice model, current evidence supports interventions such as oxytocin administration, controlled cord traction, and uterine massage. Planned strategies include staff education, protocol implementation, and improved clinical readiness. Expected outcomes include reduced PPH rates, fewer transfusions, and improved maternal safety.
