Background: In low-resource countries, Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality. Thus, it is important to identify procedures that are adapted to their situation. 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 lowresource countries. However, its effectiveness has not yet undergone rigorous evaluation. Our objective is to assess the feasibility of a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) that will test the efficacy of the intrauterine balloon tamponade with condom catheter in low-resource countries.
Methods: We carried out a pilot study of an individual randomized parallel-group controlled trial (CONDOM-PPH Trial) in thr.. View More»
