Endovascular Balloon Occlusion

Trauma related injury is the leading cause of non-obstetric maternal death.  The gravid uterus is at risk for injury, particularly during motor vehicle accidents.  Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a means of controlling pelvic hemorrhage in the setting of trauma.  We report the use of REBOA in a hemodynamically unstable, multiply-injured young woman with viable intrauterine pregnancy.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a significant contributor to maternal morbility and mortality and accounts for 31% of maternal death in Vietnam. The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony. Recently, uterine tamponade using intrauterine condom appears to be an effective tool in the management of intractable PPH. Objectives: To evaluate the success of condom as a tamponade to arrest intractable PPH due to uterine atony in patients not responding to medical management. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional and descriptive, included 32 patients who underwent condom balloon tamponade at Kontum Provincial Hospital from 1/2012 to 8/2016. Results: 32 women (mean age 25.71 ± 6.45 years range, 16 - 39) underwent condom balloon tamponade for PPH controls. 29 patients (90.62%) successfully responded the tamponade therapy by the use of condom catheter. Three patients (9.37%) required hysterectomy. Conclusions: Condom catheter balloon effectively controls the intractable PPH due to uterine atony.

Abstract Background Maternal Death Reviews (MDR) can assist in formulating prevention strategies to reduce maternal mortality. To support MDR, an adequate MDR instrument is required to accurately identify the underlying causes of maternal deaths. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the reliability of maternal death instruments for conducting the MDR process. Method Three databases: PubMed, ProQuest and EBSCO were systematically searched to identify related research articles published between January 2004 and July 2019. The review and meta-analysis involved identification of measurement tools to conduct MDR in all or part of maternal audit. Eligibiliy and quality of studies were evaluated using the Modified Quality Appraisal of Diagnostic Reliability (QAREL) Checklist: Reliability Studies. Results Overall, 242 articles were identified. Six articles examining the instrument used for MDR in 4 countries (4 articles on verbal autopsy (VA) and 2 articles on facility-based MDR) were included. None of studies identified reliability in evaluation instruments assessing maternal audit cycle as a comprehensive approach. The pooled kappa for the MDR instruments was 0.72 (95%CI:0.43–0.99; p < 0.001) with considerable heterogeneity (I2 = 96.19%; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis of MDR instruments showed pooled kappa in VA of 0.89 (95%CI:0.52–1.25) and facility-based MDR of 0.48 (95%CI:0.15–0.82). Meta-regression analysis tended to show the high heterogeneity was likely associated with sample sizes, regions, and year of publications. Conclusions The MDR instruments appear feasible. Variation of the instruments suggest the need for judicious selection of MDR instruments by considering the study population and assessment during the target periods.
