Management of massive postpartum haemorrhage: use of a hydrostatic balloon catheter to avoid laparotomy.
Postpartum haemorrhage remains a significant complication of childbirth in the UK and worldwide. The most common cause of postpartum haemorrhage is uterine atony, but placent accreta is becoming more frequent. In these situations tamponade may be required. The successful use of the inflated stomach balloon (300ml) of a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube has been reported previously. We describe an innovative method of 'tamponade' which is simple and effective, using the Rüsch urological hydrostatic balloon catheter. In two cases of failed medical therapy for PPH, where the catheter has been tried, further surgical interventions have been avoided.
