1Introduction
This document is a supplement to the Queensland Clinical Guideline Primary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). It provides supplementary information regarding guideline development, makes summary recommendations, suggests measures to assist implementation and quality activities and summarises changes (if any) to the guideline since original publication. Refer to the guideline for abbreviations, acronyms, flow charts and acknowledgements.
1.1Funding
The development of this guideline was supported with funding from Queensland Health, Centre for Healthcare Improvement. The Clinical Lead and Working Party participated on a voluntary basis. The consumer representative on the Steering Committee was paid a sitting fee.
1.2Conflict of interest
Declarations of Conflict of Interest were sought from working party members as per the Queensland Clinical Guidelines
Conflict of Interest statement. No conflict of interest was identified.
1.3Guideline review
The Queensland Clinical Guidelines are reviewed every 5 years or earlier if significant new evidence emerges.
Table 1 provides a summary of changes made to the guidelines since original publication.

2Methodology
Queensland Clinical Guidelines follows a rigorous process of guideline development. This process was endorsed by the Queensland Health Patient Safety and Quality Executive Committee in December 2009. The guidelines are best described as 'evidence informed consensus guidelines' and draw from the evidence base of existing national and international guidelines and the expert opinion of the working party.
2.1Topic identification
The topic was identified as a priority by the Statewide Maternity and Neonatal Clinical Network at a statewide forum in November 2008.
2.2Scope
The scope of the guideline was determined using the PICO (Population, intervention, comparison and outcome) Framework as outlined in
Table 2.Table 2. PICO Framework
PICO
Population
Gravid women
Intervention
Identify best practice methods for diagnosing PPH and defining a ‘severe’
PPH
Identify who is at risk and what measures can be taken to reduce the risk or
severity of PPH
Identify best practice for the first clinical response to PPH, including
maternal assessment, resuscitation and stabilisation
Identify best practice to treat the four causes of PPH i.e. uterine atonia,
trauma, tissue retention and coagulopathy
Identify best practice for management of massive blood loss
Identify best practice for a woman’s postnatal care and follow up after
experiencing a PPH
Comparison
N/A
Outcome
Women receive best practice care in pregnancy, labour and after birth to
reduce the incidence or severity of PPH
Women receive best practice assessment, resuscitation and treatment in the
event of PPH to minimise postnatal morbidity and/or mortality
Women receive best practice postnatal care and follow up to optimise
postnatal adaptation and minimise hospital length of stay
2.3Clinical questions
The following clinical questions were generated to inform the guideline scope and purpose:
· Are some women at greater risk of PPH?
· What is best practice for assessment, resuscitation and treatment of a woman experiencing PPH?
· What is best practice postnatal care and follow up for a woman recovering from PPH?
· Can risk reduction measures be used to prevent or reduce severity of PPH?
2.4Exclusions
The following exclusions were identified in the guideline scope:
· Step by step instructions for surgical techniques required to treat retractable PPH
· Definition, diagnosis and treatment of secondary postpartum haemorrhage
· Assessment and treatment of puerperal genital haematoma (refer to Guideline: Perineal Care)
· Emergency Donor Panel formulation and functioning
