I would like to comment on your December 2014 article, Zero in on Postpartum Hemorrhage to Reduce Cuba's Maternal Mortality. It refers to a problem that not only takes many lives in developing countries, but also surpasses puerperal sepsis as the number one cause of death there.
The author addresses its prevention from the perspective of obstetrics and prenatal care. However, what of the patients whose lives are more at risk if surgical procedures fail to control bleeding with no structural cause? That task falls to intensive care specialists.
