Primary post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is defined as excessive vaginal bleeding that occurs in the first 24 hours after delivery. Traditionally the definition of PPH has been blood loss in excess of 500 mL after vaginal delivery and in excess of 1000 mL after abdominal delivery (Leduc et al., 2009). Aim of the Work: The aim of this study is:To assess factors associated with maternal morbidity and mortality in patients with postpartum hemorrhage in Minia city hospitals. Patients And Methods: The study was carried out at 3 hospitals (Maternity hospital of Minia university, Minia General hospital and Misr Al-horra hospital), Minia governorate Egypt. Results: This study was carried out at 3 hospitals (University hospital, Al-Ameri hospital and Misr Al-horra hospital) in Minia governorate Egypt. The study included a total of 308 women with age range (16-41) years who attended or referred to the 3 chosen hospitals during the study period. We excluded 8 cases.

Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, with an estimated mortality rate of 140,000 per year, or one maternal death every 4 minutes. Aim of the work:The aim of this study was to report the success rate of intrauterine balloon tamponade and to elucidate factors that influence the success rate. Patients and Methods: This study was carried out to evaluate the predictive factors for success of uterine balloon tamponade in managements of post-partum hemorrhage. Results: During the study period, 1.965 deliveries occurred at our hospital. A total of 470 cases (4.29%) of these women experienced a PPH within 24 h. A total of 77 cases (0.7%) women had a balloon tamponade as 71 cases (92.2%) with Bakri balloon insertion &other 6 cases (7.79%) with foley's catheter insertion. Discussion: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, with an estimated mortality rate of 140,000 per year, or one maternal death every 4 minutes. PPH occurs in 5% of all deliveries and is responsible for a major part of maternal mortality (ACOG, 2006). Summary: Primary PPH is defined as excessive bleeding that occurs in the first 24 hours after delivery.
