Summary

Post-partum haemorrhage continues to be a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity, accounting for more than 125 000 deaths per year across the world. Prompt diagnosis and effective action are the cornerstones of management and are crucial to prevent fatal maternal haemorrhage.

Considering that published data are extremely limited, the aim of our study will be to evaluate retrospectively the efficacy of Hayman's Haemostatic Suture for the treatment of resistant post-partum hemorrhage resistant to pharmacological therapy.

Conditions

  • Postpartum Hemorrhage

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Hayman's Haemostatic Suture

After the uterus is exteriorised, bimanual compression is applied to check whether this stopped the bleeding, before the suture is applied. A number 2 polyglactin suture on a straight needle is used to transfix the uterus from front to back, just above the reflection of the bladder, and is then tied above the fundus of the uterus, while an assistant applies bimanual compression.
