3.5 Postpartum Red Blood Cell Transfusion
A total of fifteen women required a postpartum red blood cell transfusion (1.5%), 11/810 (1.4%) in the low-volume IV fluids group and 4/213 (1.9%) in the high-volume IV fluids group. Additionally, one woman required a repeat red blood cell transfusion the following day in the low-volume IV fluids group. Due to the low number of events, a regression analysis to test for an association with IV fluids administration was not performed.
