The study was developed to identify and analyze nursing practices in the literature related to the prevention and control of postpartum hemorrhage. Integrative review of on-line articles indexed in the databases MedLine, PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science (in the period between September 2013 and February 2014); search strategies by keywords and mesh descriptors were used. The 22 studies selected were categorized as: 1. Implementation of the active handling of the third stage of the delivery; 2. Use of Misoprostol; 3. Blood loss estimate; 4. Nursing training on the handling of postpartum hemorrhage; 5. Other handling measures to prevent postpartum hemorrhage; and 6. Use of technology to record data on postpartum hemorrhage. The present integrative review revealed that nursing professionals (midwives, nurses, traditional birth attendants), together with other professionals, have contributed to implement the active handling of the third stage of the labor, and to elaborate and implement protocols, trainings and assessments of results of this practice in the services. Despite the global recommendations to adopt the active management of third stage of labor, whenever a qualified professional delivers such care, this practice is still not broadly developed and implemented, even in the reference hospitals in Brazil and many other countries.
