“…45 Therefore, the Sengstaken-Blakemore two-balloon tube, originally designed for the management of bleeding oesophageal varices, was used. 37 The distal, gastric balloon was filled with 300 ml of normal saline to control uterine atony following vaginal delivery and manual removal of the placenta 23 ( Table 1, Figures 1 and 2).…”

“…The various uterine balloons are described as being 'inserted', [23][24][25][26]29 'placed' 32 or 'introduced', 33,34 although there are few specific details as to exactly how this is accomplished. The Rusch and the Bakri balloon have been described as being inserted transvaginally using ring forceps to hold the cervix and inserting the Rusch balloon with a sponge holder forceps.…”

Obstetric haemorrhage is a significant contributor to worldwide maternal morbidity and mortality. Guidelines for the management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) involve a stepwise escalation of pharmacological and eventual surgical approaches. The method of uterine tamponade using balloons has recently been added to the armamentarium for managing PPH. There are various balloons available including the Bakri, Foley, Sengstaken–Blakemore, Rusch and condom catheter. This paper reviews these uterine tamponade technologies in the management of PPH.

“…Successful results have been shown in various researches by using a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube and a Rusch urologic hydrostatic balloon catheter to create intrauterine tamponade for treatment of atonic PPH. 11,12 Recently uterine balloon tamponade in the management of PPH has been reported increasingly with success rates of over 84%. A systematic review of conservative PPH management concluded that, it should be considered as a first step in the management of intractable PPH, which is not due to genital trauma or retained tissue and which does not respond to uterotonics.…”

Aims:This study evaluates the effectiveness of condom tamponade in the management of massive obstetric hemorrhage. Methods:This hospital based prospective descriptive study was done in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of KIST Medical College Teaching Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal from January 2013 to December 2013. During the study period, patients with obstetric hemorrhage(>500ml blood loss) were identified and the details of the patient and their treatment were acquired. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics using mean, median and frequency cross tabulations. The decision for condom tamponade was made when active continuous hemorrhage persisted despite of initial conservative measures.Results: Among 39 patients of obstetric hemorrhage out of 1522 deliveries, eight were managed by condom tamponade which includes 6 postpartum hemorrhage cases, 1 incomplete abortion case and 1 antepartum case managed prophylactically in anticipation of postpartum hemorrhage. Conclusions:Despite of the small study sample, the study concludes the use of condom tamponade as an effective means of controlling massive obstetrical hemorrhage due to uterine atony (both in post partum and post abortion cases). It is safe, easily available, inexpensive, minimally invasive, does not require anesthesia, easy to use and can be performed by any level of health personnel with some training.
