Uterine Balloon Tamponade in Combination with Topical Administration of Tranexamic Acid for Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage

Figure 4

The balloon is inflated with sterile water until it bulges toward the cervix so that it can adequately compress the inner uterus and the tranexamic-acid-soaked gauze can adhere tightly to the bleeding spots. In addition, one-meter long normal gauze is packed in the vagina to prevent the balloon from slipping out.
