Abstract
Pregnancy is a complex physiological state, often accompanied by complications that pose substantial risks to maternal and fetal
well-being. Among these complications, obstetric hemorrhage and severe anemia are critical factors contributing to maternal
morbidity and mortality. This narrative review explores the pivotal role of blood transfusions in managing these complications
during pregnancy. The analysis encompasses the etiologies of obstetric hemorrhage, the impact of severe anemia, and the
nuances of blood transfusion therapy. Furthermore, the review evaluates existing transfusion guidelines, emphasizing the
need for tailored approaches in the obstetric setting. Special attention is given to transfusion-related complications, shedding
light on potential risks and considerations. The article concludes by outlining research gaps and future directions to advance
our understanding of blood transfusions in pregnancy, ultimately aiming to optimize maternal outcomes and reduce the
burden of complications associated with gestation.
