An interventional study of Uterine Balloon Tamponade and Uterine gauze packing in Postpartum Hemorrhage and Uterine Atony, sponsored by Khyber Teaching Hospital. Not yet recruiting. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-27.
Sponsored by Khyber Teaching Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy of uterine balloon tamponade and uterine gauze packing in controlling bleeding in women with postpartum hemorrhage. A total of 216 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. All patients will receive standard medical management including uterotonic agents prior to intervention. The primary outcome is cessation of uterine bleeding within 24 hours after the procedure. This study aims to identify a safe and effective method for managing postpartum hemorrhage in a resource-limited setting.
469 studies on the registry are indexed under Postpartum Hemorrhage; 76 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 216 is above the median of 148 across 360 interventional studies indexed under Postpartum Hemorrhage.

Exclusion Criteria:
Procedure: Uterine Balloon Tamponade
Procedure: Uterine gauze packing
Uterine balloon tamponade will be performed using sterile Foley catheters inserted into the uterine cavity and inflated with normal saline to achieve hemostasis in patients with postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony, following standard aseptic techniques.
Uterine gauze packing will be performed using sterile gauze placed within the uterine cavity and vagina to apply pressure and control bleeding in patients with postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony, following standard aseptic techniques.
Successful Control of Postpartum Hemorrhage Assessed by Cessation of Active Uterine Bleeding Without Need for Additional Surgical Intervention
Successful control of postpartum hemorrhage will be defined as cessation of active uterine bleeding within 24 hours after uterine balloon tamponade or uterine gauze packing, without the need for additional surgical procedures (e.g., hysterectomy, arterial ligation, or repeat tamponade/packing), as assessed clinically by the treating obstetric team.
Time frame: 24 hours after intervention

Start is estimated for Jul 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 5 months later.
Of 112 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Postpartum Hemorrhage, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 26. This study's planned 5 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 119 studies reached it within 16 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 26.
