RODRIGUEZ-KOVACS, Javier et al. Uso del balón SOS Bakri en atonía uterina: Serie de casos en un hospital universitario de tercer nivel. Rev Obstet Ginecol Venez [online]. 2013, vol.73, n.2, pp.88-98. ISSN 0048-7732.

Objective: To describe the use of SOS Bakri Balloon in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage after unsuccessful medical treatment of uterine atony. Method: We describe a case series of 15 patients with severe uterine atony after vaginal delivery that were successfully managed with SOS Bakri balloon after failed uterine massage and medical treatment. Results: The mean patient age was 22.7 (± 6.8) years. The mean gestational age was 36.3 (± 2.6) weeks. The balloon was inserted within 30 minutes of diagnosis of uterine atony. The mean length of balloon placement was 13.6 (± 6.1) hours. The mean total blood loss post balloon insertion was of 265.3 (± 258.1) cm3. The SOS Bakri balloon was effective 100 % of the time. None of the patient required hysterectomy. Conclusion: Insertion of SOS Bakri balloon is a simple conservative live saving alternative in the management of postpartum uterine atony.
