Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) can lead to untoward conditions in mothers following childbirth. At the project site there was no accurate method for measuring blood loss, resulting in the early identification of PPH, so an evidence-based solution was sought. The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental quality improvement project was to determine if the implementation of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC) Quantitative Blood Loss (QBL) Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) would impact blood loss within two hours post-delivery among mothers with a vaginal or cesarean delivery in an urban hospital in New York over four weeks. Kristen Swanson's theory of caring and Kurt Lewin's planned change theory provided the theoretical foundations for the project.
