Vacuum-induced control device ‘safe and effective for postpartum haemorrhage’
High treatment success rate observed for vaginal and caesarean births across all bleeding causes.
Rapid and effective bleeding control can be achieved using an intrauterine vacuum-induced haemorrhage control device for both vaginal and caesarean births, according to a US study in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Dr Dena Goffman, from the New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, and colleagues examined the real-world effectiveness and safety of a vacuum-induced control device for postpartum haemorrhage management at 16 centres from October 2020 to March 2022.
