Balloon Tamponade Versus Gauze Packing for Postpartum Hemorrhage
Sponsor: Khyber Teaching Hospital
Summary
Postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy of uterine balloon tamponade and uterine gauze packing in controlling bleeding in women with postpartum hemorrhage. A total of 216 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. All patients will receive standard medical management including uterotonic agents prior to intervention. The primary outcome is cessation of uterine bleeding within 24 hours after the procedure. This study aims to identify a safe and effective method for managing postpartum hemorrhage in a resource-limited setting.

Conditions
Interventions
Uterine Balloon Tamponade
Uterine balloon tamponade will be performed using sterile Foley catheters inserted into the uterine cavity and inflated with normal saline to achieve hemostasis in patients with postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony, following standard aseptic techniques.
Uterine gauze packing
Uterine gauze packing will be performed using sterile gauze placed within the uterine cavity and vagina to apply pressure and control bleeding in patients with postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony, following standard aseptic techniques.
