Anemia Clinical Trials

Postpartum hemorrhage and anemia are considered a major health concern due to their impact on maternal morbidity and mortality, quality of life, and maternal cognitive and emotional functioning after delivery, which are particularly important during the critical period of mother-child bonding. Hemoglobin levels in the first 24 hours after delivery do not reflect the lowest point (nadir). The postpartum nadir occurs 48-72 hours after delivery due to the initial redistribution of plasma volume. The aim of this study was to examine whether postpartum ultrasound examination precedes laboratory test results in the diagnosis of anemia due to blood loss after cesarean section.
