Key Points

To compare the effectiveness of intrauterine balloon tamponade (IUBT) and uterine gauze packing (UGP) in controlling postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
Compared IUBT and UGP for managing PPH
Evaluated blood loss, transfusion rates, and complications
IUBT may reduce blood loss compared to UGP
IUBT possibly lowers transfusion requirements
Evidence quality is low, requiring further high-quality randomized controlled trials

Implication

Systematic review comparing interventions for reducing blood loss in postpartum hemorrhage, suggesting need for high-quality trials.
