Administration of Sulprostone, Primary Postpartum Hemorrhage, Vaginal Childbirth
Conditions
Brief summary
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), is the leading cause of maternal mortality and is responsible for approximately 25% of maternal mortality deaths.It is defined as blood loss in excess of 500 ml following vaginal childbirth. Primary (immediate) PPH occurs within the first 24 hours after delivery. In clinical practice, if after giving birth, the placenta is not expelled naturally, an active management should be triggered. After obstetric maneuvers therapeutic, options begin with uterotonic treatments before considering invasive treatments such as embolization, vessel ligation and hysterectomy. However, the morbidity associated with these techniques and the desire to preserve fertility mean that new therapeutic solutions have been conceived, which has recently led to the development of an innovative intrauterine hemostasis medical device : a hemostatic intrauterine suction cup. Assuming that postpartum hemorrhages are mainly due to uterine atony, we propose in this biomedical research, the study of a new medical device. Our hypothesis is that the uterine walls will append to the walls of the suction cup after the latter is put under vacuum. The actuation of the suction cup will lead to the aspiration of all sides of the uterus. Considering that postpartum haemorrhage is an emergency situation where vital prognosis of the patient is engaged, we selected to collect the consent of the patient using an emergengy procedure.
Detailed description
In this study, as a first pass in human of this innovative non CE marked medical device, we aim to demonstrate the feasibility of using the hemostatic intrauterine suction cup for patients who present primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 500ml) after a vaginal delivery requiring administration of Nalador®. We will evaluate the placement of hemostatic suction cup in the uterus, the application of vacuum and its removal from the uterus.
Interventions
DEVICEHemostatic Intra-Uterine suction cup
The hemostatic intra-uterine suction cup is introduced to the uterine cavity and a negative pressure is applied into the device.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of the feasibility of using the hemostatic intrauterine suction cup in patients who present primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 500ml) after a vaginal childbirth requiring the administration of Nalador®. | 36 month | The primary outcome is composite and consists of 3 the following component outcomes: 1. Qualification of success or failure of the introduction of the suction cup in the uterine cavity 2. Qualification of success or failure to create negative pressure in the suction cup. The negative pressure is validated if vacuum is maintained for at least 30 seconds. 3. Qualification of success or failure of removing the suction cup in its entirety. The feasibility of using the suction cup will be validated if success is obtained for the 3 component outcomes. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of whether the bleeding stops after each time the suction cup is put under vacuum. For each patient, the cup may be put once or twice under vacuum. | 36 month | Subjective evaluation of whether bleeding stops by the clinician after each time the suction cup is put under vacuum. |
| Evaluation of the ease of removal of the suction cup by the clinician | 36 month | Visual quantitative satisfaction scale |
| Evaluation of the ease of the placement of the suction cup by the clinician | 36 month | Visual quantitative satisfaction scale |
| Evaluation of the number of patients for whom invasive treatment is necessary in order to stop the bleeding | 36 month | Number of patients for whom embolization or surgery is indicated |
| Assessment of the duration of time required to place and remove the suction cup | 36 month | Time duration for the placement and removal of the suction cup |
| Quantification of blood loss during delivery | 36 month | Volume of blood collected in the container of the pump and in the collection bag from the beginning of the delivery until the removal of the suction cup |
