Abstract :

 Introduction: Uterine balloon tamponade technology is nowadays popularly used to control post partum haemorrhage. Among various methods,

Foley’s catheter tamponade is simple,
easy to use and is effective. The study evaluates outcome of Foley’s catheter tamponade.
Material and Methods: In this prospective observational study, foley’s catheter tamponade was applied to twelve cases with post partum
hemorrhage of different severity, refractory
to all pharmacologic measures. The effciency of the Balloon Tamponade Technology in the management of severe PPH was assessed along with
any complications.
Results: The foley’s catheter tamponade stopped bleeding in all the cases. Only two cases showed evidence of sepsis.
Conclusions: Thus, foley’s catheter tamponade is an effective method to control intractable PPH. It is an easy procedure which does not require
expertise to use. Hence it proves to an invaluable tool, especially in places with low resource settings.
