Our ultimate goal:
• Provide Ministry of Health/international partners the descriptive information needed to assess current practices regarding active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL).
• Identify major barriers to its use.In order to:• Develop interventions to improve adoption and
implementation of the practice of AMTSL. • (Secondary aim) Produce public domain tools
and a methodology that could be employed by others in the future to document change.

International Confederation of Midwives (ICM)/International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) definition of AMTSL:• Administering a uterus-contracting drug, e.g.,
oxytocin, within one minute of birth.
• Applying controlled cord traction and counter traction to the uterus.
• Massaging uterus after delivery of the placenta, as appropriate.

Variations of the definition of AMTSL:• Uterotonic drug: some specify oxytocin (drug of
choice), other drugs have been used in the literature (ergometrine, syntocinon, syntometrine, prostaglandins).
• Early or immediate cord clamping – not recommended by ICM/FIGO.– But for descriptive purposes we should collect data on
what is being done.
• Some studies have omitted uterine massage.• No studies to date looking at effectiveness of the
individual components of AMTSL.

What does AMTSL

Evidence on AMTSL:
• Reduces incidence of postpartum hemorrhage by up to 60 percent.
• Reduces the quantity of blood loss—thereby decreasing incidence and severity of anemia.
• Reduce emergencies and related cost, transport.
• Reduces the use of blood transfusion.

To date, there has only been one study to document AMTSL practices internationally:
Bulletin of the World Health Organization (WHO), 2003

However, these data:
• Are only from university teaching hospitals.– (one health facility in each country, so this is not a
representative sample of deliveries in a country)
• Suggest that practices vary widely. People say they are doing “active management,” but many of them are using different definitions.
• Do not tell us WHY providers do or do not use AMTSL routinely.

Our study wants to describe:
• How different providers/facilities define AMTSL.
• The barriers (and the facilitators) to routine use of AMTSL.

We have divided our data collection so that:
• The quantitative data has already been collected; analysis is underway.
• This will be the qualitative part of the study during which:– You will interview health care providers about
their attitudes and practices in AMTSL.– You will interview community leaders,
traditional birth attendants, and community members about PPH.

Remember: your job is only to ask questions and record responses
• You should NOT express your opinion about the use of AMTSL.
• You should NOT discuss the details of our study with health care providers or other professionals in health care facilities.– Simply say that this study is to document how
the third stage of labor is managed. We are simply documenting common practices.
