Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is among the most significant causes of maternal death worldwide. The time of diagnosing and the proper management of hemorrhage are essential in preventing maternal mortality. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of Bakri balloon on the management of PPH. Bakri balloon was effective in controlling PPH of 92.3% of patients. The most frequent indications for using Bakri balloon was uterine atony (46.1%). Furthermore, Bakri balloon is among the simplest and low invasive methods that can be used to control PPH before invasion methods, like hysterectomy.
