Sammanfattning
BACKGROUND : Caesarean delivery may cause serious complications; haemorrhage is one of them.
MATERIAL AND METHODS : By the use of information registered in a database in 1997-99 at Rogaland Central Hospital, 978 cesarean deliveries were investigated.
RESULTS : Mean bleeding was 460 ml. 203 (20.8%) women had a blood loss of more than 500 ml and 17 (1.7%) of more than 1,500 ml. Multiple pregnancies, acute caesarean, general anaesthesia, increasing age of mother, high birth-weight, low gestational age, placenta praevia, abruptio placentae and arrest of delivery progression were associated with increased bleeding.
INTERPRETATION : Several identifiable factors are associated with increased blood loss after caesarean delivery. Serious blood loss is rare.
