(Abstracted from N Engl J Med 2023;389:11–21) Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a serious complication of childbirth, and delays in diagnosis and treatment can cause major complications or fatalities. One method of early detection is a blood-collection drape, possibly in conjunction with other tests and treatments.
