Preceding HTRS/NASTH 2019 Scientific Symposium Program Co-Chairs:  Andra H. James, MD, MPH and Kenneth G. Mann, PhD
Program Description: The meeting, a national colloquium of leading faculty/researchers/clinicians, reviewed our current understanding of the science as well as current evidence-based practice related to the diagnosis and clinical management of uterine hemostasis. It examined current knowledge and practice as applied to: 

1. The role of complement in uterine hemorrhage.
2. The role of inflammation in heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB).
3. The use of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in postpartum hemorrhage.
4. The management of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in women on anticoagulants.
5. The latest in transfusion management in postpartum hemorrhage.
6. Hemostatic challenges in pregnancy – Case-based discussion with Q & A with the audience.
