Brief summary
This study is intended to compare the effectiveness of intrauterine packing versus balloon tamponade in the management of postpartum hemorrhage. It is hypothesized that balloon tamponade is better than intrauterine packing in achieving hemostasis in patients with postpartum hemorrhage.
Interventions
Two basic interventions (Intrauterine packing and balloon tamponade) will be applied for management of postpartum hemorrhage in this study. The balloon tamponade with 24 fr catheter will be applied by postgraduate resident for 6 to 8 hours in labor room. The deflated catheter will be inserted into the uterine cavity, inflated with 60 to 80 ml of sterile saline and the patient will be kept under direct observation for the said duration and will be considered successful if no bleed found
