description Invasive therapies (surgery or radiological embolization) are used to control severe post-partum hemorrhage. The intra-uterine tamponade balloon is a potential alternative, well documented after vaginal delivery. However, available data on its use after cesarean delivery remain scarce. This study assessed the efficacy of the intra-uterine tamponade balloon during post-partum hemorrhage in a cesarean delivery setting. Using a retrospective impact design, post-partum hemorrhage-related outcomes before (“pre-balloon” period) versus after implementation of intra-uterine tamponade balloon (“post-balloon” period) were compared. All women with post-partum hemorrhage requiring potent uterotonic treatment with prostaglandins after cesarean delivery over a 9-year period were eligible. The primary outcome was the rate of invasive procedure (conservative surgery, radiological embolization and/or hysterectomy). <i>p</i> < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A total of 279 patients were included (140 vs. 139). Most baseline characteristics were comparable between the two studied periods. The success rate of the intra-uterine tamponade balloon was 82%, and no related complications occurred. Rates of invasive procedures and transfusion were significantly reduced (28.6% vs. 11.5%, <i>p</i> < 0.001 and 44.3% vs. 28.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.006 respectively) during the “post-balloon” period, and length of hospital stay was shorter (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Implementation of intra-uterine tamponade balloon during post-partum hemorrhage after cesarean delivery appears to be safe and effective, with a decrease in both invasive procedures and transfusion rates.
