Objective: To evaluate the outcome of the B-Lynch technique as a treatment for postpartum hemorrhage due to intraoperative uterine atony in patients of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Dr. Miguel Pérez Carreño Hospital. Methods: Descriptive cut study, with a field design, transversal and prospective. The sample consisted of 60 patients who presented intraoperative uterine atony, the B-Lynch technique was applied and they were treated at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Dr. Miguel Pérez Carreño Hospital, during the period March 2016 - March 2017. Results: Average age of 26 years was evidenced, patients with II pregnancies, gestational age at term and controlled pregnancies predominated, with previous hemoglobin and hematocrit values with a posterior average lower than that before surgery. In 100 % of the cases, the hemorrhagic problem was successfully resolved, with the patients being discharged from the hospital. Conclusion: The B-Lynch technique proved to be an easy, fast and successful procedure in the management of postpartum hemorrhage due to intraoperative uterine atony, which is why its use is recommended.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a significant contributor to maternal morbility and mortality and accounts for 31% of maternal death in Vietnam. The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony. Recently, uterine tamponade using intrauterine condom appears to be an effective tool in the management of intractable PPH. Objectives: To evaluate the success of condom as a tamponade to arrest intractable PPH due to uterine atony in patients not responding to medical management. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional and descriptive, included 32 patients who underwent condom balloon tamponade at Kontum Provincial Hospital from 1/2012 to 8/2016. Results: 32 women (mean age 25.71 ± 6.45 years range, 16 - 39) underwent condom balloon tamponade for PPH controls. 29 patients (90.62%) successfully responded the tamponade therapy by the use of condom catheter. Three patients (9.37%) required hysterectomy. Conclusions: Condom catheter balloon effectively controls the intractable PPH due to uterine atony. Key words: PPH (Pospartum hemorrhage), Tamponade, Condom catheter balloon, Uterine atony

Background: In low-resource countries, Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality. The intrauterine balloon tamponade was recently incorporated into the strategy to manage uterine atony. There are many types of tamponades. Among them, the condom catheter seems to be an efficient and economic intervention for the treatment of PPH in low-resource countries. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the condom catheter balloon in treating postpartum hemorrhage refractory to medical treatment.Methods: The retrospective analysis of 22 cases of PPH, treated with a condom catheter as a conservative therapeutic option, was done in department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India.Results: The condom catheter was successful in controlling PPH in 90.9% cases. It was effective in 94.44% women with uterine atony, who did not respond to uterotonic drugs. It was also effective in one case of placental implantation site bleeding and two cases of deranged coagulation function. In 2 cases it failed to control PPH and peripartum hysterectomy was done. The volume of saline solution used to fill the balloon was from 150 -350 ml and the time for which the balloon remained inflated was 36-48 hours. No case of febrile morbidity and wound sepsis was noted. There was no maternal death.Conclusions: Its ease of use and high effectiveness make condom catheter a useful approach for the conservative management of PPH. This device reduces bleeding, shortens the hospital stay and avoids the need for more aggressive procedures.

Introduction: The aim of the research was to investigate incidence, risk factors, and complications associated with emergency peripartum hysterectomy, the ultimate treatment method for intractable postpartum hemorrhage.Methods: This is a single center case-control study conducted in Chongqing city in central China from 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2012 for emergency peripartum hysterectomy performed as a treatment of postpartum hemorrhage both in caesarean and vaginal delivery cases. While the study group included emergency peripartum hysterectomy (n=61) due to intractable postpartum hemorrhage, the control group included no hysterectomy (n=333) during the same study period.Results: We found 61 cases recorded for emergency peripartum hysterectomy for intractable postpartum hemorrhage. Incidence of peripartum hysterectomy was 2.2 per 1000 deliveries. Emergency peripartum hysterectomy as treatment of intractable postpartum hemorrhage include the followings: (i) blood loss 1000-2000 ml, crude odd ratio (OR) =18.48 (95% CI 5.1-65.7), adjusted odd ratio (AOR) = 9.1 (95% CI 2.2-37.7); (ii) blood loss >2000 ml, OR = 152 (95% CI 43.7-528.4), AOR = 45.3 (95% CI 11.6-176.9); (iii) previous caesarean section, OR = 5.5 (95% CI 2.9-9.7), AOR = 3.7(95% CI 1.4-9.9); (iv) uterine atony, OR = 11.9 (95% CI 5.8-24.6), AOR = 7.5 (95% CI 1.8-30.2); (v) placenta previa, OR = 2.04 (95% CI 1.1-3.5), AOR = none. Conclusions: Emergency peripartum hysterectomy is the last resort as treatment of intractable severe postpartum hemorrhage. Our study depicts that severe post partum hemorrhage, further dreaded complex events for emergency peripartum hysterectomy, has significant association with placental factors, previous caesarean section, and uterine atony. Pathologically, placenta accreta remained the most leading cause of hysterectomy.Keywords: caesarean section; hemorrhage; peripartum hysterectomy; placenta previa.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intrauterine balloon tamponade and B lynch suture for management of severe postpartum hemorrhage. Study Design: Randomized Control trial Place and Duration: The study was conducted at Gynae & Obs department of Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical Complex, Nowshera KPK for six months duration from January to 2021 to June 2021. Methods: There were one hundred and twenty patients with ages 20-45 years were presented in this study. All women had severe postpartum hemorrhage were included in this study. Demographically detailed of enrolled cases age, body mass index, gestational age and parity were recorded after taking informed written consent. Patients were equally divided into 2-groups I and II. Group I had 60 patients and received Lynch suture while in group II 60 patients received intrauterine balloon tamponade. Post-operative success rate among both groups were assessed and compared in terms of bleeding control within 10-15 minutes. SPSS 24.0 version was used to analyze the complete data. Results: In group I mean age was 29.09±2.53 years with mean BMI 25.11±7.64 kg/m2 while in group II mean age was 29.02±3.62 years with mean BMI 24.87±6.32 kg/m2. Mean gestational age in group I was 37.87±3.29 weeks and in group II mean gestational age was 38.19±6.41 weeks. Mean parity in group I was 4.03±1.19 and in group II it was 4.01±0.87. Frequency of success rate in group I was significantly higher among 54 (90%) cases as compared to group II 39 (65%) with p value < 0.05. We found that patients of group I was significantly satisfied than that of patients who received intrauterine balloon tamponade. Conclusion: In this research we concluded that lynch suture for the management of severe postpartum hemorrhage among females had higher effectiveness in terms of bleeding control within 15 minutes and with higher satisfaction among patients as compared to those females who received intrauterine balloon tamponade.

Abstract Introduction Postpartum hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality throughout the world and uterine atony is the leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage. The B-Lynch brace suture is a fertility-sparing approach to treating intractable uterine atony at the time of cesarean delivery. However, many obstetricians lack confidence to perform this procedure, which they may not have performed during residency. In order to train all residents to perform the B-Lynch brace suture, we developed a realistic model by using a flank steak to imitate a gravid uterus. Methods A convenience sample of obstetrics-gynecology faculty and residents at different levels of training at a single large hospital participated in this pilot project. Each physician reported self-perceived understanding of and confidence in performing the B-Lynch procedure before and immediately after practicing the technique using the flank-steak model, via a Likert-type survey (scale 1  =  low, 5  =  high). A Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test was used to compare the before and after responses. Results Thirty-four participants completed the flank-steak model training and pretraining/posttraining surveys. The median score (range) for self-perceived understanding was 4 (2–5) and increased to 5 (4–5) (P &lt; .01) after exposure to the training model. The confidence scores rose from 3 (1–5) to 5 (4–5) (P &lt; .01) after training. Conclusion The flank-steak model for teaching the B-Lynch suture significantly improved resident and faculty self-perceived understanding of and confidence in performing this procedure, which is otherwise rarely practiced in residency.

Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of pathological staging of chorioamnionitis (CA) on complications in preterm infants; Methods A single-center, retrospective study was conducted to choose singleton preterm infants (gestational age < 37 weeks) from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in our hospital from December 2016 to December 2017. The basic data and placental pathological results were retrospectively collected. According to the placental pathological results of whether inflammation infiltrating amnion, CA 0/I phase was classified into non-amnionitis group, CA II/III phase was classified into amnionitis group, the incidence of common complications in preterm infants was compared. Further, logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of amnionitis on complications after being adjusted to gestational age, birth weight and thrombocytopenia. Results A total of 221 preterm infants were enrolled, including 186 cases in non-amnionitis group and 35 cases in amnionitis group. The gestational age of amnionitis group (32.00 ± 2.71 weeks) was significantly lower than non-amnionitis group (34.14 ± 2.06 weeks), birth weight (1.93 ± 0.64 kg) was significantly lower than that of non-amnionitis group (2.26 ± 0.58 kg), and the hospital stay in amnionitis group was significantly longer (25.71 ± 19.23 days), all of the difference above was statistically significant(P < 0.05). The incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in amnionitis group (37.14%) was significantly higher than that in non-amnionitis group (13.98%) (P = 0.002), and the risk of IVH was significantly increased by amnionitis (OR = 3.636, 95%CI: 1.632–8.102); after correction of gestational age, birth weight and thrombocytopenia, the risk of IVH was still significantly increased (OR = 2.471, P = 0.046, 95% CI: 1.015–6.015). And the late-onset IVH was more common (P = 0.009). Conclusion Amnionitis leads to a significant reduction in gestational age and birth weight in preterm infants, and it is an independent risk factor for IVH.
