Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Bakri balloon tamponade (BBT) is currently being used worldwide. This study aimed to explore the real-world performance of BBT for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). METHODS: A total of 279 women with PPH who failed to respond to first-line conservative management and received BBT were consecutively recruited, reflecting authentic settings. The maternal baseline clinical data, PPH management, and perinatal outcome were recorded. In addition, the perinatal outcomes of women with pre-BBT blood loss <1000 mL were compared to those with ≥1000 mL. Finally, the factors related to pre-BBT blood loss ≥1000 mL were analyzed by logistic regression. RESULTS: =0.907). Delivery mode and uterine atony were closely correlated with pre-BBT blood loss. CONCLUSIONS: BBT is effective in stopping PPH among women with massive blood loss in documented settings.
