Background:
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) affects approximately 14 million women globally each year and accounts for around 70,000 maternal deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Between 54% and 93% of maternal deaths due to obstetric hemorrhage are considered preventable. To reduce this burden, healthcare strategies are increasingly emphasizing cost-effective, accessible, and efficient treatment approaches.
Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of condom-catheter balloon tamponade in managing atonic PPH.
Method:
A 3-year prospective study at Rajarshi Dashrath Autonomous State Medical College, Ayodhya, involving 194 women with atonic PPH unresponsive to medical treatment.
Result:
The tamponade-controlled bleeding in 100% of cases, with most arrests occurring within 15 minutes. No complications were reported.
Conclusion:
Condom-catheter balloon tamponade is a safe and highly effective method for managing atonic PPH.
