[Non-invasive instrumental method in uncontrollable post-partum hemorrhage (an alternative to hemostatic...

A new non-invasive instrumental technique which is useful to stop the most severe post-partum haemorrhages is described. This technique is proposed as an alternative to more invasive methods such as the binding of uterine or hypogastric arteries, which is itself a trauma, not always effective and could promote the obstetric shock. The method proposed by the authors is not invasive, can be performed in a few minutes and performed without the help of anaesthesia. Very encouraging results were achieved and have allowed to avoid the use of the so-called "haemostatic" hysterectomy.
