  1. NASG = non-pneumatic anti-shock garment. Data are n (column %). The denominator is the entire population, unless otherwise noted.
  2. *Of women with uterine atony as primary or secondary diagnosis. Data are for 572 cases.
  3. Two-sided Fisher's Exact test used.
  4. † The protocol asked for 1500 mL to be administered in the first hour of resuscitation; the majority of women received fluids within the first hour and fifteen minutes.
