A mini-"checklist" to help save mothers' lives: Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor
The clinical steps around saving mothers' lives are a matter of swift-decision making and skill. A lot of attention is being given to a simple process called the 'Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor' as a way to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. While clinicians who have been trained and who do hundreds of deliveries a month will remember the steps in AMTSL, newer clinicians will need reminders. We saw an interesting rubber stamp that was created for a USAID project. It covered the steps of AMSTL and could be stamped directly into a paper medical record.
