Systematic review of the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of non-pneumatic antishock garments in low- and middle-income countries: lessons for global health.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obstetric haemorrhage is a leading global cause of maternal mortality, particularly in rural and resource-poor settings where delays in care are common. Non-pneumatic antishock garments (NASGs) have been proposed as a temporising measure to reduce blood loss and improve survival rates. Despite positive outcomes from clinical trials, the uptake of the NASG has been slow and faced various implementation challenges. This review thus aims to identify and analyse the barriers and facilitators of NASG implementation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
