Duration of Intrauterine Balloon Tamponade in Post-Partum Haemorrhage Management After Vaginal Delivery: A Secondary Cohort Analysis From the French TUB Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the rates of bleeding recurrence and other post-partum haemorrhage (PPH)-related clinical outcomes in women with PPH initially controlled by intrauterine balloon tamponade (IUBT) according to its duration.
