The capacity of balloon tamponade to arrest PPH is around __________
The capacity of balloon tamponade to arrest PPH is around 300-500 ml. A Bakri postpaum Balloon may be inseed and inflated to tamponade the endometrial cavity and stop bleeding. Inseion requires two or three team members. One to perform abdominal sonography during the procedure. Another to place the deflated balloon into the uterus and stabilize it. The third member instills fulid to inflate the balloon, rapidly infusing at least 150 ml followed by fuher instillation over a few minutes for a total of 300 to 500 ml to arrest hemorrhage.
