Overview

Qualitative analysis reveals critical design and usability factors of postpartum haemorrhage kits in UK maternity units, suggesting improved efficiency.

Key Points

  • Usability of postpartum haemorrhage kits is influenced by design features and contextual factors in maternity units.
  • Key findings highlight substantial variation in kit design elements like format, grouping, and portability across six units.
  • Interviews with 19 maternity professionals revealed that storage constraints and access to medications affect kit usability.
  • Standardisation of designs may enhance safety, yet overly rigid solutions might not align with local workflows.
