Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of uterovaginal packing and Foley’s catheter balloon tamponade in patients with excessive vaginal bleeding following vaginal delivery. Design : RCT ( Randomized Controlled Trial). Setting : Obstetrics & Gynaecology Deptt. , HFH ( holy family hospital) , RWP. Duration: Six Months. Materials & Methodology: 94 females who presented with excessive vaginal bleeding ( > 500 ml) following vaginal delivery, 18 to 40 years of age , gestational age (GA) ≥37 weeks were included. Patients with retained products of conception, PPH due to perineal, cervical or vaginal tear and coagulation disorders were excluded. The patients were distributed equally into 2 groups ; a and b based on the lottery method. Group a was managed with uterine packing and Group b was managed by the Foley’s catheter balloon tamponade. Efficacy and safety in both groups was measured. Results: In my study, efficacy was significantly high in uterine packing group (Group a) compared to Foley’s catheter balloon tamponade (group b) (89.36% versus 68.09%; respectively) with p-value of 0.012. In my study, safety was significantly high in uterovaginal packing group (Group a) compared to Foley’s catheter balloon tamponade (group b) (72.34% versus 31.91%; respectively) with p-value of 0.0001. Conclusion: Uterovaginal packing is more secure, prompt and efficient procedure to manage excessive hemorrhage after delivery compared to Foley’s catheter balloon tamponade. Keywords: Hemorrhage, uterovaginal packing ,foley’s balloon tamponade.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
