FONSECA-CHIMA, Érika. A case report and literature review regarding the Bakri balloon in postpartum hemorrhage in Medellín (Colombia). Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2010, vol.61, n.4, pp.335-340. ISSN 0034-7434.
Objective: presenting a case of uterine atony which did not respond to initial management; the Bakri balloon was then used with satisfactory control of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The literature regarding the surgical technique for its insertion, the co-interventions to be administered and the complications related to its use were reviewed. Materials and methods: the case was presented and a bibliographic search was made of the MEDLINE/ PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo, Ovid, Elsevier, EBSCO and Cochrane databases based on the terms "Balloon tamponade", "postpartum hemorrhage". Review articles, case series, case reports and clinical experiments were sought which had been published from 1980 to 2010. Conclusions: Bakri balloon for managing PPH has been shown to be an option in the protocol for managing these patients, as it is a non-invasive method and has few complications.
