Question relating to Midwifery
Ok just read something that has inspired a question........
With an APH (Antepartum Haemorrhage) how on earth do you measure the bleeding in mill's?? Is it just a 'guestimation'?
The thread in the glossary section says: "bleeding from the genital tract any time after the 24th week of pregnancy...of greater than 500ml. A major obstetric haemorrhage is described as being greater than 1,000ml"
I know that a little blood goes a long way, so how is this measured so accurately with such a spreadable medium???
