Summary
This study tests whether using a tourniquet (a tight band) around the lower uterus during surgery for placenta accreta can improve newborn Apgar scores. Placenta accreta is a condition where the placenta doesn't detach after birth, causing severe bleeding. The trial will involve 100 pregnant women with this condition. The goal is to see if this simple technique leads to healthier babies and fewer complications.
