Event Description

As reported, the balloon of a 'cook bakri postpartum balloon with rapid instillation components' ruptured during use.The device was placed transvaginally following a vaginal delivery for treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, secondary to uterine atony, and the patient was continuously monitored.It was reported that during monitoring, 500ml of fluid was observed in the collection bag.Upon ultrasound, the uterine void line was noted; however, the uterus was empty and the bakri device could not be seen in the uterus.The device was then removed and it was noted that the device was deflated and a 5cm tear was found in the balloon material.Upon removal, the estimated 500ml of fluid in the drainage bag corresponded to the saline solution used to inflate the device, rather than blood.The patient's total estimated blood loss from the perineal wound and uterine atony was 1500ml.The patient had no externalized bleeding following device removal.Hemostasis was achieved without the use of a second device.The patient received 2 units of concentrated red blood cells (cgr's).The device did not come into contact with any metal tools.No other adverse effects were reported for this incident.
