Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of two types of condom uterine balloon tamponade systems, namely Chhattisgarh condom balloon device "CG balloon (CGB)" having a central drainage channel as well as indigenous tying system to fasten condom to the catheter and conventional condom uterine balloon device (C-UBT) as a second-line intervention in post-partum haemorrhage (PPH).
Materials And Methods: The present non-randomised prospective case series was carried out from December 2014 to September 2016 and included 60 women having PPH which was refractory to first-line management and who were treated with either of the two condom balloon tamponade devices prepared on spot. Women with allergy to latex, retained placenta, uterine rupture, anomaly, genital infection and/or malignancy were excluded. Case report forms were filled for all participants and analysed. Primary outcome was arrest of haemorrhage, and one of the secondary outcomes was cost and consistency of the devices.
Results: CGB was used in 46 and C-UBT in 14 women. The overall success rate was 98.33%. The mean blood loss was 1417 mL. Women of C-UBT group had greater blood loss, higher inflation volume and delays due to technical issues (OR 7.6). CGB was cheaper and more consistent than C-UBT by omitting the use of suture material.
Conclusion: CGB and conventional condom balloon tamponade both are easy to use, feasible and efficacious for control of PPH, but CGB condom balloon device has the advantage of a central drainage lumen for real-time assessment of blood loss and therefore early corrective action.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of three interventions—transvaginal uterine artery clamp (TVUAC), suction cannula (SC), and condom tamponade (CT)—for managing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), a serious condition that can lead to maternal mortality.
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, the researchers looked at women who experienced atonic PPH after vaginal delivery, measuring outcomes like blood loss and the time needed for each intervention to work.
- Results indicated that both TVUAC and SC were similarly effective in managing blood loss, while CT performed worse, highlighting the need for further research in effective PPH management strategies.

Post-partum haemorrhage is among the main causes of (preventable) mortality for women in low-resource settings (LRSs), where, in 2017, the mortality ratio was 462 out of every 100 000 live births, over 10 times higher than for high-resource settings. There are different treatments available for post-partum haemorrhage. The intrauterine balloon tamponade is a medical device that proved to be a simple and cost-effective approach.

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency causing nearly one-quarter of maternal deaths worldwide, 99% of these in low-resource settings (LRSs). Uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) devices are a non-surgical treatment to stop PPH. In LRSs, low-cost versions of UBT devices are based on the condom balloon tamponade (CBT) technique, but their effectiveness is limited.

Objectives: Use of intrauterine balloon tamponades for refractory postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) management has triggered recent debate since effectiveness studies have yielded conflicting results. Implementation research is needed to identify factors influencing successful integration into maternal healthcare packages. The Ellavi uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) (Ellavi) is a new low-cost, preassembled device for treating refractory PPH.
