Could a simple balloon save mothers from severe bleeding?

NCT ID NCT02226731

Summary

This study tested whether using a special balloon device earlier in treatment helps control severe, life-threatening bleeding after a vaginal birth. It compared using the balloon at the same time as a second medication versus waiting to see if the medication alone worked first. The goal was to see if early balloon use reduces severe blood loss and the need for major emergency surgeries.
