Vacuum device for heavy bleeding after childbirth
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a vacuum-based device to help stop severe bleeding after delivery (postpartum hemorrhage), especially when the uterus is not tightening. It may help women who have ongoing bleeding despite standard first medicines to reduce bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You delivered at 34 weeks or later
- You had more than 1000 mL of total blood loss in the first 24 hours after delivery
- The bleeding is due to a soft, not-tightening uterus (uterine atony)
- You have already received the first-choice medicines (uterotonics) to control bleeding
- For a C-section: your cervix was at least 3 cm dilated
