Oxidized cellulose in long strips was used as a postpartum intrauterine pack in twenty-four patients, of whom three demonstrated frank postpartum hemorrhage. Results obtained indicated that this type of packing is effective in the control of bleeding and has no harmful effects, either locally or generally. The gauze is spontaneously expelled by the uterus too soon to allow for complete absorption. This study serves to demonstrate that the gauze can be safely introduced into the postpartum uterine cavity to control postpartum bleeding. This represents a preliminary report and a larger number of cases are required for study before further conclusions can be drawn. |
