Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of balloon tamponade in managing postpartum hemorrhage in women who were delivered at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar. A descriptive study was conducted from September 2022 to September 2023 in the gynecology ward of Lady Reading Hospital. The study included females aged 18 to 40 years who experienced PPH after delivery and were either primigravida or multigravida. The effectiveness of balloon tamponade was evaluated. The mean age of the participants was 28.75±6.30 years, and the mean gestation age was 37.40±3.06 weeks. The most common cause of PPH was an atonic uterus. The study found that balloon tamponade was effective in 89.8% of cases. The study concludes that balloon tamponade is effective in managing postpartum hemorrhage in 89.8% of cases.
