Brief summary
Post partum haemorrhage is a concerning situation in maternity wards, though it is not the first cause of maternal mortality anymore. It has been already shown that low fibrinogen level is a major predictive factor of massive bleeding after delivery. In this situation, the early knowledge of fibrinogen level could enhance care of women experiencing post partum haemorrhage. In a cohort of women suffering from post partum haemorrhage, this study will evaluate whether assessing fibrinogen level would be faster using the Quantra® system than the standard coagulation test.
