Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important cause of maternal death in the world. One of the best agents used to prevent massive bleeding is fibrinogen concentrate (FC). FC can control bleeding without causing viral complications and without volume overload as in transfusion-associated circulatory overload and transfusion-related acute lung injury. FC is easy to apply, does not require dissolution, no extra apparatus is needed. Considering blood and blood products used in large amounts, it is a cost-effective agent.
