5.0 Conclusion
This study found that there was not an association between high volume IV fluids and PPH after adjusting for demographic and clinical factors for this cohort of women at a single, metropolitan, tertiary referral hospital. However, there was a positive association between high-volume IV fluids and emergency caesarean section. Overall, these findings are important to further knowledge relating to the administration of IV fluids in labour and the potential impact of this common practice. It identifies future research priorities around documentation of IV fluids and their relationship with pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.
