uterine balloon tamponade success rate

A uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) is a life-saving device used in the management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a leading cause of maternal mortality globally. This device works by inserting a balloon into the uterus, which is then inflated with saline or sterile water to apply pressure on the uterine walls, reducing or stopping the bleeding. The use of UBT can significantly reduce the need for more invasive surgical interventions like hysterectomy.
