Abstract
BACKGROUND: Maternal deaths from ‘bleeding during and after caesarean section’ (BDACS) have increased in South Africa, and have now become the largest sub-cause of deaths from obstetric haemorrhage. The aim of this study was to describe risk factors and causes of near-miss related to BDACS and interventions used to arrest haemorrhage and treat its effects.
METHODS: Cross-sectional prospective study in 13 urban public hospitals in South Africa, from July to December 2014.
