The document describes techniques for using uterine and vaginal balloons to control postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). It discusses various balloon devices that have been used historically and their advantages over traditional gauze packing. Key balloon techniques described include the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube, Bakri balloon, Foley catheters, and condom balloons. The document provides details on how to properly insert and remove different balloon devices to exert controlled pressure on the uterus and stop bleeding in cases of PPH.
For difficult vaginal delivery,forceps delivery,vacuum application are done to assist the vaginal delivery.Many types of forceps are there divided in 3 categories.
In this introductory remark at workshop on vaginal hysterectomy where Dr Shirish Seth was operating faculty.
I spoke “lets promote and propagate vaginal hysterectomy which is an indigenous surgery in line with PM Modi’s mission of MAKE IN INDIA.
Vaginal hysterectomy is like Aam admi surgery which is in the best interest of patients and has best scientific evidences in its favour."
Let us not be driven by glamour,gadgets and gimmicks."

“Difficulty encountered in the delivery of the fetal shoulders after delivery of the head.”
Shoulder dystocia is an unpredictable obstetric complication with the incidence of 0.15% to 2%.
An increase in the incidence of shoulder dystocia has been recorded over the last 20 years. Incidence appears to be increasing as birth weights increase.
Secondary amenorrhoea by dr alka mukherjee dr apurva mukherjeealka mukherjee
The first step in the evaluation of any patient with secondary amenorrhea is a urine pregnancy test. Every contraceptive method has a failure rate, and anyone who is menstruating is potentially fertile, regardless of age. [5][6]
If the pregnancy test is negative, consider the clinical picture: hirsutism, acne, and a long history of infrequent and irregular menses suggest polycystic ovarian syndrome. By the Rotterdam criteria, a patient may be diagnosed with PCOS if she has two of the following: clinical or chemical hyperandrogenism, oligo- or amenorrhea, or polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. So if a patient has evidence of hirsutism and oligo- or amenorrhea, she can be diagnosed with PCOS without further laboratory testing or imaging.
If history and physical exam are not consistent with PCOS, a TSH should be ordered. Both hyper- and hypothyroidism can lead to menstrual dysfunction.
If TSH is normal, check a serum prolactin. Elevated serum prolactin suggests prolactinoma.
In cases of Nulliparous prolapse or even patients deserving child bearing uterus preserving surgeries are done.
Recently even for prolapse if women want to preserve uterus for variety of reasons ,with newer minimally invasive methods it is now gaining popularity.Larger studies and longer followup is required.
Uterus Transplantation Utx (obstetric and gynecology) D.A.B.M
Is the surgical procedure whereby a healthy uterus is transplanted into an organism of which the uterus is absent or diseased.
As part of normal mammalian sexual reproduction, a diseased or absent uterus does not allow normal embryonic implantation, effectively rendering the female infertile.
This phenomenon is known as Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility (AUFI).
Uterine transplant is a potential treatment for this form of infertility.
Uterus is a dynamic, complex organ. It is hugely blood-flow dependent.
More than 116,000 Number of men, women and children on the national transplant waiting list as of August 2017.
33,611 transplants were performed in 2016.
20 people die each day waiting for a transplant.

Management of postpartum haemorrhage due to vaginal tears is not a well discussed entity. This lecture goes in depth on management of PPH due to vaginal lacerations.
Cervical incompetence is the inability for the cervix to retain an intra-uterine pregnancy till term as a result of structural and functional defects of the cervix.
Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality. Thereby its appropriate management is of great importance. Here I discuss the surgical management of Postpartum Hemorrhage which is done when medical management fails.

Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

of Massive PPH
• Dr Muhammad El Hennawy
• Ob/gyn Consultant
• Rass el Barr Central Hospital and
Dumyat Specialised Hospital
• Dumyatt – EGYPT
• www.mmhennawy.co.nr
2. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH(
• It is a leading cause of maternal death all over the world
• It remains a serious complication of childbirth in both
developed and developing countries.
• From 2% to 5% of deliveries may lead to PPH with a blood
loss of > 1000 mL within the first 24 hours
• The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony.
• A delay in correction of hypovolumia and delay in the
control of bleeding are the main avoidable factors in most
maternal deaths caused by hemorrhage
3. • tone, Uterine atony
• tissue, Products of conception, blood clots
• Trauma , Planned --- Cesarean section , episiotomy
Unplanned -- Vaginal/cervical tear, surgical trauma
• Thrombin ,Congenital--- Von Willebrand's disease
Acquired --- DIC, dilutional coagulopathy, heparin
The causes of postpartum hemorrhage can
be thought of as the four Ts
4. • Whatever the cause of PPH, death should be preventable
• Active management of the third stage of labor reduces
uterine atony and is the mainstay of prevention of
hemorrhage
• The rapid correction of hypovolumia with crystalloid and
red cells is the first priority of management of PPH.
• Uterotonic drugs, such as oxytocin or ergometrine, are
used as prophylaxis and for controlling PPH
5. Management Steps in Primary PPH
• Call for help
• resuscitate
• search for cause
– bimanual compression, examine
placenta, examine and repair lower
tract trauma
– uterotonics
• oxytocin,
• ergometrine,,
• misoprostol.
6. Unresponsive Uterine Bleeding
• Tamponade techniques
– gauze
– balloons , condom/glove with Infiltration of placental bed with
vasoconstrictors
Laparotomy
– conservative
Vessel ligation ( uterine , ovarian , hypogastric )
Uterine -- Vertical full thickness sutures
- Compression Suture (B-Lynch) 1997
- Modified B-Lynch (Hayman ) 2002
- Horizontal full thickness sutures
- Square Suture 2000
- figure of eight
- Combination of sutures
– hysterectomy is the procedure of last resort, and a few patients really need it to
save their lives
• Embolization are effective methods for controlling intractable hemorrhage
9. Gauze Uterine Packing
• Formerly standard treatment until 1950
• fell out of favour because
– concern for infection
– improved medical management of PPH
10. Uterovaginal packing was done under
general anesthesia
• 16 meter sterile ribbon gauze with the help of
spong holding forceps from the fundus in layers
from left to right and front to back of fundus
towards the cervix (uniformly applied side-to-side,
front-to-back and top-to-bottom.9 ).
• The vagina was also firmly packed to give
additional pressure to the uterine packing.
11. Balloon is Better than Gauze
• Simple to place and remove
• fast
• conforms well
• gauze may miss spots
• does not absorb so no delay and catheter channel
prevents masked bleeding
• atraumatic insertion
• removal does not cause bleeding
12. An Early Balloon (1951)
The pressure in the capillary system is 21-48 mm Hg
. Pressure in intervillous space is 25mm Hg
14. The “Tamponade Test”
(Condous, et al, Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2003 ,
n = 16 intractable PPH
– 3.1 L average EBL
– 6.2 units pRBC, 2.3 u FFP, 1.4 u platelets, 11mL
cryoprecipitate
• managed with usual algorithm of drugs
• presurgical intervention
• Technique
– minimal analgesia required
– cut off the distal end , ring forceps used
– filled with 70 - 300 c (avg 167) warm saline until uterus
felt firm and balloon just visible at os
– continue oxytocin
– IV broad spectrum antibiotics
– removed next day in two stages, hours apart
• Results
– 14/16 successes i.e. 14 laparotomies avoided
– 2 failed
• One was a missed cervical extension at cesarean
• One was thought to be due to inadequate inflation
•
15. Sengstaken-Blakemore
• Seror, et al, Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 2005
• French case series of 17
– failed medical treatment
– average Hb drop 4 despite average 4.8 units pRBCs
• Technique
– filled stomach balloon after cutting tip of
catheter (with average of 250 cc (120 - 370)
– broad spectrum antibiotics
– removal at 3.5 to 82 hours (mean 30)
• Results
– 15/17 avoided laparotomy
• failed cases both due to cervical lacerations
– 9/17 transferred to embolization centre but only 3
embolized
• Contraindication ?
– one case of infection
• intrapartum fever and developed RDS requiring ICU
and intubation x 24 hrs
16. A large Foley catheter
• A Foley catheter with a 30-mL balloon capacity is easy to acquire
-----Using a No. 24F Foley catheter, the tip is guided into the
uterine cavity and inflated with 60 to 80 mL of saline.
Additional Foley catheters can be inserted if necessary to control
postpartum hemorrhage resulting from atony
• Trial to Intrauterine irrigation with prostaglandin F2-α to control
postpartum hemorrhage resulting from atony
• inflating a large Foley catheter balloon with 60 ml of saline
inside the cervical canal. to control postpartum hemorrhage
resulting from a low placental implantation
• three Foley’s balloons to provide tamponade of uterus for
bleeding from placenta acreta to prevent obstetric hysterectomy
• An intramural fibroid along the lower uterine segment incision
line along the upper margin of the incision. After removal of the
fibroid, the raw uterine bed started bleeding which was controlled
to some extent by "O" catgut sutures One 30 ml inflated bulb of
Foley's catheter was kept in the low bed of the uterine decidua
and the other end of the Foley's catheter was brought to the
exterior through the cervical canal After that uterus was closed
carefully about the bulb of the Foley's catheter which controlled
dramatically the uterine bleeding. Foley's catheter was removed
after 24 hours.
17. Rüsch Urologic Hydrostatic
Balloon
• Johanson, et al, BJOG, 2001
• Used in urology for stretching the
bladder and for stemming mucosal
hemorrhage
• Technique
• insert into uterus
• inflate with 400-500cc warm saline
• keep 24 hrs
• oxytocin
• Case report (n = 2) in cases of accreta
18. St. Bartholomew’s Catheter
• Used in urology for prostatic bed bleeding
• not reported in the literature but analogous to other catheters
19. SOS Bakri Tamponade Balloon
• Bakri, et al, Int J Gyne Obstet, 2001
• Designed specifically for obstetrical
hemorrhage
• maximum capacity 800cc of balloon
(recommended 250 to 500c)
• wider caliber drainage shaft
• article describes 5 successful cases
with previas
• It can be placed from above at time
of C/S ( not from below )
20. Indication of Bakri Tamponade Balloon
• Placental acreta (e.g. Placenta previa, low lying
placenta).
• Vaginal delivery.
The balloon catheter will not be used following cesarean section delivery
except It can be placed from above at time of C/S .
• Patients who were at least 19 weeks gestation
21. Contraindication of SOS Bakri Tamponade
Balloon
• Continuing pregnancy.
• Cervical bleeding due to trauma.
• Uterine atony bleeding.
• Cases indicating hysterectomy.
• Arterial bleeding requiring surgical exploration or
angiographic embolization.
• Purulent infections of the vagina, cervix, or uterus.
• Untreated uterine anomaly.
• Disseminated intravascular coagulation.
• A surgical site which would prohibit the device
from effectively controlling bleeding
22. • Insert Foley catheter prior to the procedure.
• Clean cervix and vagina with betadine..
• Insert the catheter transvaginally under ultrasound guidance to:
Assure that the uterus is clear of any retained placental fragments,
arterial bleeding, or lacerations.
• Determine approximate uterine volume by ultrasound or direct
examination
• Insert the proximal end of the balloon catheter through the cervix into
the uterus.
• The balloon catheter should be gently inserted with a long
forceps (Do not use a tenaculum).
• The entire balloon should be inserted past the cervical canal and
internal os.
• Avoid excessive force when inserting the balloon into the uterus. If
resistance occurs during insertion, remove the catheter.
• Fill the balloon with 250- 300 ml sterile saline through the stopcock.
• Do not over inflate the balloon. Maximum inflation volume is 500 ml.
Always inflate the balloon with sterile normal saline.
SOS Bakri Balloon Catheter Insertion
23. NEVER inflate the balloon with air, carbon dioxide, or any other gas.
To ensure that the balloon is filled to the desired volume, measure
normal saline in a separate container (rather than solely relying on a
syringe count) to verify the amount of fluid that has been instilled into
the balloon.
Insert X-Ray detectable sponges.
Soak sponges with betadine and insert around shaft of the catheter to
maintain correct catheter placement and maximize tamponade effect.
Count sponges prior to insertion and document on the Intraoperative
Record/ Nursing flowsheet..
Apply gentle traction to the balloon shaft and secure it to the patient’s
inner thigh to maintain tension.
The patient may experience vaso-vagal symptoms with continuous
traction on the catheter. If this occurs, the physician should assess the
patient and determine if the catheter should be removed. Connect the
drainage port to a fluid collection bag (e.g. small Foley leg bag) to
monitor hemostasis after the balloon is inflated.
Flush balloon drainage port and tubing with 15-30 mL sterile normal
saline if there is no drainage and/or the fundus is increasing in height.
If the balloon catheter becomes dislodged due to shaft tension, deflate
the balloon,
24. SOS Bakri Balloon Catheter Removal
• Remove tension from balloon shaft.
• Remove and count vaginal packing/sponges.
• Obtain X-ray if sponge count is incorrect..
• Deflate the catheter slowly prior to removal.
• Using an appropriate size syringe, aspirate the contents of the balloon
until fully deflated.
• Verify that the the original volume inserted in the balloon was
removed.
• Gently retract the balloon from the uterus and vaginal canal and
discard.
• Continue to monitor the patient for signs of uterine bleeding after
removal of balloon catheter
25. Advantages Bakri’s balloon pack
over the conventional pack
• The catheter has several benefits:
• Easily inserted by the physician.
• Quickly ascertain effectiveness.
• Able to gauge ongoing blood-loss through inner lumen.
• Easily removed without need for separate surgical
procedure.
• Conservatively manages hemorrhage
27. Condom Balloon 1
• Shivkar’s balloon pack, ( india )
• involves tying a condom to the intravenous drip set of a saline bottle
with the help of a latex rubber band 0.5 cm wide run fast over 1-2 minutes
from a 60 cm height above the abdominal level.
Usually upto 300cc is required to fill up the dead space of the condom and
also of the uterus. limit the intraballoon volume to 350 to 400cc
The IV bottle is then brought down to a 25 cm height from the abdomen.
Usually this maintains the hemostasis
This is maintained for approximately 6-8 hours then
pack is removed by bringing the bottle down slowly by 5 cm every 15
minutes so that the uterus gradually contracts over the pack.
In cases of coagulation failure, it may be necessary to maintain the condom
pack for longer periods.
over a period of 20 years since 1981 till 2003
Out of the 101 women,
75 showed complete cessation of bleeding;
20 showed partial response
6 failed to respond needing other active surgical intervention
28. A condom (prewashed),
a disposable IV set,
normal saline bottle,
scissors,
artery forceps
sterile roller gauze
29. Technique of Shivkar’s Pack Insertion
• the terminal portion of the IV set is passed through the condom and is fixed to the condom
with a latex rubber band, 0.5 cm wide so as to make the condom airtight. This width of the
band is used because whenever the intraballoon pressure exceeds safety limits, the band gives
way and fluid starts leaking out from the side of the IV tubing, eliminating the risk of
overstretching and injuring the uterus. This latex band is laced on to the condom at a distance
equal to the approximate length of the uterine cavity from the fundus to the internal os. The
IV set is connected to the IV bottle as usual and the bottle is hung up on the calibrated IV
stand at 60 cm. After removing all the trapped air from the assessembled condom, it is
introduced inside the uterus so that the rubber band is placed at the level of the internal os.
Neither anesthesia nor sedation is required. The IV flow controller is now released and fluid
is allowed to run fast over 1-2 minutes from a 60 cm height above the abdominal level.
Usually upto 300cc is required to fill up the dead space of the condom and also of the uterus.
The IV bottle is then brought down to a 25 cm height from the abdomen. Usually this
maintains the hemostasis. However the height of the bottle may be lowered or raised so as to
achieve complete hemostasis with minimum possible pressure and volume. This is
maintained for approximately 6-8 hours. A condom filled with fluid has a tendency to
herniate into accessible spaces available; hence it is recommended that the vagina should be
packed to prevent slipping of the condom. Total time taken for the entire assembly and
achieving uterine tamponade is never more than 3 to 6 minutes.
• The patient’s vital parameters are closely monitored during therapy. Once they improve, and
complete hemostasis is achieved, pack is removed usually at the end of 6-8 hours, by
bringing the bottle down slowly by 5 cm every 15 minutes so that the uterus gradually
contracts over the pack. In cases of coagulation failure, it may be necessary to maintain the
condom pack for longer periods.
30. Mechanism of Action of Shivkar’s balloon pack
• Atonic PPH occurs due to failure of ‘living ligatures’ of uterine
muscles to compress the vessels. This condom pack acts by –
• directly compressing the bleeding vessels by hydrostatic pressure
• improving the efficiency of failed live ligature by uterine muscle
contractions
and
• by allowing sufficient time for resuscitation of the patient, which
enables the severely anoxic uterine muscle to recover from tissue
anoxia and contract.
• The pressure in the capillary system is 21-48 mm of Hg or 28.5-65.5
cm of water. Pressure in intervillous space is 25mm of Hg or 33.9cm
of water. Hence the pack stops most of the bleeding except for
arteriolar spurters wherein the pack may fail or be less effective
31. Indications
Atonic PPH is a most important and common
indication,
however
it is effective in PPH due to coagulation failure,
inversion and
in some cases of traumatic PPH
Contraindications
The only contraindication is a suspected or diagnosed
uterine rupture.
32. Advantages Shivkar’s balloon pack over
the conventional pack
• (i) Dynamicity of pack – The moment the uterus starts contracting,
the pressure in balloon increases and it pushes out the fluid allowing
the uterus to continue contraction. This does not happen with the
conventional pack. When the uterus relaxes, the fluid is drawn in,
maintaining the pressure against the uterine wall and preventing
reopening of capillary channels and bleeders.
• (ii) Nonporous nature – The conventional pack absorbs blood to some
extent and hence exact amount of blood loss cannot be determined as
against our pack which allows the amount of blood loss to be
estimated accurately.
• (iii) Infection risk in minimal
• (iv) Exact intrauterine pressure can be monitored and hence problems
of too tight or too loose packing are avoided.
• (v) Even if the situation warrants a hysterectomy or internal iliac
artery ligation, the pack can be used to minimize blood loss
temporarily to buy time. Simplicity of the pack can allow a
paramedical staff to use the pack even in remote places
33. Condom Balloon 2
Akher, et al, MedGenMed, 2003
• Bangladesh 2001-2002
• 152 cases of PPH, 23 used condom balloon
• bleeding stopped within 15 minutes in all
• Technique
a size 16 rubber catheter eg a Foley’s catheter was inserted within the condom
and tied near the mouth of the condom by a silk thread
• 200-500cc normal saline
• no infection (all given A/G/F x 7 days)
• removed after 24-48 hrs
• vagina packed with gauze or another condom
• Benefits
• cheap
• universally available
• simple
• great for developing countries
•
34. • primary health workers and other healthcare providers can
apply this procedure before referring the patients to a higher
center.
• It is essential to exclude genital tract trauma before
undertaking this procedure.
• But in remote areas where primary healthcare providers are
unable to detect or repair the injury in those cases,
• this intrauterine tamponade method followed by vaginal
packing will minimize the blood loss until the patient's
arrival to the hospital, which will protect the patient from
irreversible shock and even death.
35. Time of Application
• the condom catheter was introduced
• within 0-4 hours, after delivery.
or
• between 5 and 24 hours after delivery.
36. • Insert Foley catheter in bladder prior to the procedure.
• Clean cervix and vagina with betadine
• Under aseptic precautions a size 16 sterile rubber catheter was
inserted within the condom and tied near the mouth of the condom by
a silk thread ,Inner end of the catheter remained within the condom
37. • After putting the patient in the lithotomy position
• Urinary bladder was kept empty by indwelling Foley's
catheter
• the condom was inserted within the uterine cavity
• Outer end of the catheter was connected with a saline
set the saline kept 60 to 70 cms above the abdomen
and the condom was inflated.
• From 200-500 mL (average 336.4 mL) saline was
required to inflate the balloon of running normal saline
38. Method of Application
• Grasp Anterior and Posterior lips of cervix
with 2 ovum forceps
• Then introduce it
• Fill till balloon appears at cervix Bleeding
reduced considerably, further inflation was
stopped
39. Inflation Volume
• Do not over inflate the balloon.
• Maximum inflation volume is 500 ml
40. outer end of the catheter was folded and tied
with thread
41. To keep the Uterine balloon in situ
• the vaginal cavity was filled with roller gauze and
finally a sanitary pad..
• or the vaginal cavity was filled with another inflated
condom placed in the vagina
42. Abdominal Ultrasound
• if the concern for concealed hemorrhage
still exists, ultrasound can more effectively
detect a developing hematoma when the
contrast is a fluid-filled balloon .
43. Maintaining Uterus Contracted
• An intravenous drip containing oxytocin was kept
for at least 6 h after the procedure was performed to
maintain the uterus contracted over the inflated
balloon.
• Temporary external compression of the uterus (Firm
pressure was also applied by hand to the outer and
inner side of uterine cavity )
44. For How Long?
• The condom catheter was kept for six to 24-
48 hours ,
• The mean duration of catheter in situ
was 39 hours
• then was deflated gradually over (10-15
minutes)
• and removed.
45. antibiotic coverage
• Patient was kept under triple antibiotic coverage
• (amoxicillin [500 mg every 6 hrs]
• + metronidazole [500 mg every 8 hrs]
• + gentamicin [80 mg every 8 hrs]) administered
intravenously
• for 7 days.
46. Condom is the best Balloon
• It can expand to 20 litres
and to stop bleeding one
does not need to inflate it
beyond one litre.”

54. Conclusion
The hydrostatic condom catheter can control PPH quickly and effectively.
create a ballooning function by inflation with a reasonable amount of fluid.
• This balloon exerts a similar pressure to that of other balloons to the open
sinuses of the uterus and stops bleeding.
• It conforms naturally to the contour of the uterus,
• does not require any complex packing,
• It does not require any anaesthesia
• In developing countries where PPH remains a primary cause of maternal
mortality, any healthcare provider involved in delivery may use this procedure
for controlling massive PPH to save the lives of patients.
• easy to remove.
• In addition, it may be associated with lower infection risk as there is no direct
intrauterine manipulation.
• This intervention can be done cheaply, easily, and quickly,
• and it does not require highly skilled personnel
55. Caution
• It is not a substitute for surgical management and
fluid resuscitation of life-threatening postpartum
hemorrhage.
• Signs of deteriorating or non-improving conditions
should indicate more aggressive treatment and and
management of postpartum uterine bleeding
56. Summary: Balloon Techniques
• They all seem to work
• most reported techniques call for
– warm NS 100-500 cc range
– consider vaginal packing
– prophylactic antibiotics
– stepwise removal at 6 -24 hours
• It can also be inserted at time of cesarean
from above
58. • when PPH that occurred as a result of atonicity
• when PPH that occurred as a result of morbid adhesion
(accreta) could not be controlled by uterotonics or a surgical
procedure.
• to control postpartum hemorrhage resulting from a low
placental implantation
• In patients who were in shock due to massive hemorrhage,
a uterine balloon was introduced immediately without prior
medical management
• It is also used for bleeding related to abortion
• Haemorrhage from the placental bed after removal of the
ectopic Isthmico-cervical pregnancy by curettage
• It is also used for repositioning of inverted uterus.
