Uterine Balloon Tamponade

In a prospective case series in sub-Saharan Africa, data was collected to examine the outcomes of women in advanced shock from uncontrolled postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) who underwent placement of an Every Second Matters for Mothers and Babies Uterine Balloon Tamponade (ESM-UBT) device. The device ESM-UBT is shown to arrest hemorrhage, prevent shock progression, and is associated with high survival rates among women with uncontrolled PPH from uterine atony.
