Postpartum haemorrhage is associated with high perinatal morbidity and mortality. General measures in the presence of hemorrhage, in many cases are not enough to stop bleeding and surgical intervention is necessary. This a case presentation of a pregnant adolescent with 39.1 weeks, nulliparous, attended at the Hospital Gustavo Aldereguía Lima, Cienfuegos, who was induced by premature membranes rupture. She evolved towards active phase of labor, so it was decided to perform cesarean section with a diagnosis of pelvic cephalic disproportion. After extracting a female newborn weighing 4050 g, major obstetric haemorrhage due to uterine atony was found, requiring conservative uterine surgery using Hayman's compressive sutures. This article is aimed at presenting the first case in which Hayman's compressive sutures were applied to postpartum obstetric haemorrhage in the province. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
