The PPH was created to the patient suddenly, which was not expected earlier and the opposite parties attended the patient with utmost promptness and care and resorted to the best followed medical practice, which are necessary in the circumstances of the case by giving Botropase and Prostodine injections, uterine massage, IV fluid and injection Hemaccel et cetera. Despite all the aggressive measures, the condition of the patient was deteriorating and the complainant after going to arrange the blood at 9:55 AM switched of his mobile phone and came to opposite party-1 after the death of the patient at 1 PM.

Postpartum hemorrhage (also called PPH) is when a woman has heavy bleeding after giving birth. It's a serious but rare condition. It usually happens within 1 day of giving birth, but it can happen up to 12 weeks after having a baby. About 1 to 5 in 100 women who have a baby (1 to 5 percent) have PPH.

It's normal to lose some blood after giving birth. Women usually lose about half a quart (500 milliliters) during vaginal birth or about 1 quart (1,000 milliliters) after a cesarean birth (also called c-section). A c-section is surgery in which your baby is born through a cut that your doctor makes in your belly and uterus (womb). With PPH, you can lose much more blood, which is what makes it a dangerous condition. PPH can cause a severe drop in blood pressure. If not treated quickly, this can lead to shock and death. Shock is when your body organs don't get enough blood flow.

Yes. Things that make you more likely than others to have PPH are called risk factors. Having a risk factor doesn't mean for sure that you will have PPH, but it may increase your chances. PPH usually happens without warning. But talk to your health care provider about what you can do to help reduce your risk for having PPH.

At 1 PM on 16. 01.2014 the patient was declared dead. It shows that there was total lack of post delivery treatment in which the opposite parties totally failed to discharge their duties. They were negligent in not providing the supportive medical care as per medical protocol to the patient. There is no ultrasound report on the record which can show the internal condition of the uterus and placenta. In the above-mentioned article it has been deliberately discussed about the postpartum haemorrhage. No investigation was done regarding this aspect. One can know this condition if there is heavy bleeding from the vagina that does not slow or stop, drop in blood pressure or signs of shock. Signs of low blood pressure and shock include blurry vision; having they said, clammy skin or really fast heartbeat; feeling confused, DC, sleepy or weak; or feeling like you are going to faint. Nausea, pale skin and swelling and pain around the vagina or perineum. The perineum is the area between the vagina and rectum. There are so many other conditions by which one can know about PPH. There is provision for testing of PPH and also for the treatment of PPH. In this case the opposite party did not bother to confirm the PPH at the very beginning because they did not take any sonography picture of the patient.
