Abstract
Haemorrhage is defined as 10% or greater decrease in hematocrit. It is considered as a major complication of surgeries and is one of the most common causes of death during surgical settings (1). Despite the low mortality and morbidity of Caesarean Sections (CS), hemorrhage is still considered as a threat to the patients and surgeons (2). Knowing the accurate blood loss is very helpful for resuscitation process and reducing in plenty of hemorrhagic shocks (3).
The objectives of this study :
1- To define the estimation of blood loss made by the obstetricians.
2- To correlate the exact amount of blood loss measured by the difference of hemoglobin level based on complete blood count (CBC) test done before and after the surgery.
3- To determine the accuracy of estimated blood loss made by the obstetricians during Caesarean Sections based on drop of hemoglobin level.
