Complications of Postpartum Questions
Question 1 of 5
If nonsurgical treatment for late PPH is ineffective, which surgical procedure would be appropriate to correct the cause of this condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus. In cases where nonsurgical treatment for late postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is ineffective, and the cause of the condition is related to the uterus (such as retained placental tissue, uterine atony, or placenta accreta), a hysterectomy may be necessary to stop the bleeding and correct the underlying issue. Hysterectomy is considered a definitive treatment for PPH when other interventions have failed to control the bleeding.
