Resumen
Background:
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), postpartum hemorrhage is the cause of 25-30% of direct maternal deaths. In developing countries, about 99% of deaths are related to pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium. In Ecuador, postpartum hemorrhage is considered the second cause of maternal death. Although postpartum hemorrhage by itself is severe, it is even more serious if it is associated with other pathologies of the pregnant woman. (1)
