Soon after the delivery of the baby, the uterus will usually contract to deliver the placenta and then compress the blood vessels that were attached to it.   When the uterus does not contract properly it is referred to as uterine atony and it is the most common cause of PPH.  If these contractions are too weak, the blood vessels are able to continue bleeding freely.","Page language":"en","Page parent":"NREMT Skillset","Page root":"NREMT Skillset","Page title":"NREMT Skillset/Uterus Massage","Page views":"3370","Page year":"Wednesday, 01-Jan-20 00:00:00 UTC","SELF acting roles":"EMT, emergency medical technician, paramedic","SELF body parts":"abdomen","SELF body systems":"reproductive system","Modification date":"Friday, 18-Sep-26 12:17:36 UTC"}
