Balloon tamponade during cesarean section is useful for severe post‐partum hemorrhage due to placenta previa

Abstract

Intrauterine balloon-tamponade could successfully control severe hemorrhage from a lower uterine segment of a patient with placenta previa. This technique is simple to use, scarcely invasive, and available at a low cost to all maternity wards, and should be considered as one of the first management options to reduce the risk of undesirable hysterectomy.
