Maternal and Perinatal Health Interventions

Uterine inversion is often accompanied by postpartum hemorrhage and hypovolemic shock. Morbidity and mortality occur in 41% of cases. Early recognition and management are of utmost importance. Successful treatment depends on timely recognition. Management should include resuscitation of maternal hypovolemic shock and repositioning of the inverted uterine fundus. Uterine inversion is a rare but potentially life-threatening obstetric emergency.
