The FPQC is in the process of…
· Consulting with the OHI advisory board in response to your clinical questions. We have updated recommendations based on two issues that have been raised this month:
o Oxytocin dosage and timing during the third stage of labor – The OHI toolkit is being updated related to Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor (AMSTL) regarding oxytocin dosage and administration for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (see pages 10, 11, 14). It is recommended that oxytocin be administered at delivery via IV infusion, 40 units in 1000 cc of IV fluid. If a partial infusion is hanging, the dosage should be adjusted accordingly. If there is no IV in place, 10 units of oxytocin administered IM is the recommended dosage.
o Mixed methods estimation/quantification of blood loss – Quantification of blood loss is the recommended process for all deliveries. For the OHI, if estimation of blood loss is only partially quantified, please report this as Estimation Blood Loss (EBL). Blood loss is QBL only if blood loss was exclusively quantified.
