Postpartum haemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. Although definitions may vary, blood loss greater than 500ml after birth is considered abnormal — especially when accompanied by signs and symptoms of hypovolaemic shock.

Hypothermia in trauma patients can significantly worsen outcomes. Studies have shown that nearly two-thirds of trauma patients present with a body temperature below 36°C, while approximately 9% present at or below 33°C.
