English
Authors' recommendations:
One clinical practice guideline was identified that recommends the use of isotonic crystalloids over colloids (including hydroxyethyl starch, albumin, modified gelatin, or dextran) for intravenous fluid replacement of women with PPH. This recommendation is based on evidence extrapolated from studies that included critically ill patients, including patients with trauma, burns, sepsis, and surgery. None of the studies included patients with PPH.
