Abstract EN
Background.
Postpartum hemorrhage is the most common cause of maternal deaths worldwide, the majority of which occur in low-resource settings.
Uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) is an effective method of addressing uncontrolled postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) from uterine atony; however, UBT devices are often not affordable.
We report on three novel uses of an ultra-low-cost condom uterine balloon tamponade (ESM-UBT) device.
Cases.
ESM-UBT devices were used in innovative ways to arrest severe uncontrolled pregnancy-related hemorrhage among three women in India and Tanzania.
The first had sustained deep vaginal lacerations, the second a cervical pregnancy, and the third a complete molar pregnancy.
Conclusion.
The ESM-UBT device may be useful for control of obstetric hemorrhage caused by complex vaginal tears as well as cervical and molar pregnancies.
