Could 6 hours be enough? new study challenges standard bleeding treatment after birth
NCT ID NCT04467996
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how long a balloon used to stop heavy bleeding after childbirth should stay in place. Normally, it's kept for 12-24 hours, but researchers want to see if 6 hours works just as well as 18 hours. The goal is to help mothers recover faster, spend less time in the hospital, and have less pain. The study includes 64 women who had a vaginal delivery and needed this balloon treatment.
