What is Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor?
AMTSL involves a series of steps designed to facilitate the quick and safe delivery of the placenta and minimize blood loss. The key components include the administration of a uterotonic drug, controlled cord traction, and uterine massage after the delivery of the placenta. These interventions are based on evidence from clinical trials and epidemiological studies that demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing the incidence of PPH.
