The study aimed to define which gynecological and obstetrical services can be effectively offered through teleconsultation using expert insights and literature review.
A Delphi consensus survey with 22 French healthcare experts was conducted to evaluate the relevance of various teleconsultation practices across prevention, gynecology, and antenatal/postnatal care.
Results showed that out of 71 practices reviewed, a high percentage (92%) were approved for teleconsultation in prevention, while lower rates were seen in gynecology (55%) and prenatal (31%) or postnatal (12%) care, with some practices still needing further consensus.
The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of uterine balloon tamponade in treating postpartum hemorrhage among women in two French hospitals.
Out of 49 women treated, the overall success rate was 65%, with the majority experiencing uterine atony as the cause of hemorrhage.
The findings suggest that balloon tamponade is a safe and effective option to manage postpartum hemorrhage, potentially decreasing reliance on more invasive surgical interventions.
