Logothetopulos pack for the management of uncontrollable postpartum hemorrhage.
This is the first reported case in which a Logothetopulos pack was utilized to achieve pelvic hemostasis in a patient requiring a cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta with postpartum hemorrhage. The Logothetopulos pack is an easily constructed gauze tamponade method that proved to be life-saving in this case.
