Conclusions
Shock index and capillary Lactate may be reliable bedside clinical tools
to identify patients with severe haemorrhage. Shock index is an early
clinical detector of severe postpartum haemorrhage as early as at
diagnosis, whereas lactate gains its value at 30 minutes post-diagnosis.
Capillary haemoglobin was not able to differentiate the severe from
non-severe as early as the first 30 min.
