Two specific case studies of postpartum hemorrhage patients at Phu Wiang Hospital, from December 2022 to May 2023, were conducted. Data was collected from medical records, patient interviews, and family members.

Case 1 had a labor duration of 27 hours and 47 minutes, with postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony. Case 2 had a total labor duration of 6 hours and 24 minutes, with postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony and retained placental fragments. The patients experienced no adverse complications, emphasizing the need for nurses to assess and identify postpartum hemorrhage risks while efficiently applying nursing practices.
