Bakri balloon
Brief summary
This study concerns women diagnosed with postpartum hemorrhage and requiring sulprostone therapy. Included patients are randomized to two arms: the Sulprostone + Bakri balloon arm versus the Sulprostone alone arm. The main objective of this study is to compare the efficiency of a care strategy including the Bakri balloon to that of routine care without the Bakri balloon via a cost-consequence study juxtaposing costs and the necessity of invasive procedures (arterial embolization, ligation of arteries, hysterectomy, intrauterine sutures) for controlling postpartum hemorrhage.
Interventions
PROCEDURERoutine care
Following diagnosis with post-partum hemorrhage, an initial 30 minute phase corresponding to current recommendations, an injection of sulprostone, a demonstrated inefficacy of sulprostone 20 minutes after the injection and finally randomization, patients in this arm of the study will continue to have routine care.
DEVICEBakri balloon
Following diagnosis with post-partum hemorrhage, an initial 30 minute phase corresponding to current recommendations, an injection of sulprostone, a demonstrated inefficacy of sulprostone 20 minutes after the injection and finally randomization, patients in this arm will be treated with the immediate placement of a Bakri balloon, followed by routine care if necessary.
