Intrauterine hemorrhage-control devices: Advantages and disadvantages

Intrauterine hemorrhage-control devices: Advantages and disadvantages
  Advantages Disadvantages
Balloon tamponade
  • Relatively easy to insert
  • Can place through the hysterotomy at cesarean birth or using a vaginal approach
  • Uses a single device, which reduces the risk of a retained foreign body
  • Allows monitoring of ongoing intrauterine bleeding (specially designed balloons)
  • Potential for balloon displacement/expulsion
  • Potential for catheter occlusion by clot
  • Discomfort from uterine distension by the balloon
  • Longer dwell time
Intrauterine vacuum
  • Advantages are similar to those of balloon tamponade (except for placement through the hysterotomy) plus:
    • Rapid onset of action and shorter dwell time
    • Collapse rather than distension of the intrauterine cavity, resulting in potentially shorter duration of use
  • Cannot be used when the cervix is <3 cm dilated
  • Cannot be placed through the hysterotomy at cesarean birth
  • More expensive than other methods
Gauze packing
  • Generally inexpensive
  • Readily available in most settings
  • Specialized gauze that is impregnated with hemostatic agents (eg, kaolin, chitosan) may provide additional benefit
  • Potentially requires a longer time to fully insert gauze compared with other methods
  • Blood is absorbed into the fabric, which may mask ongoing bleeding
  • Risk of a retained foreign body (especially when more than one pack is required)
  • The pack must be placed so that it exerts sufficient pressure through the uterine cavity, which is essential for success (especially for plain gauze)
