[Uterine defibrillation in uterine inertia. Report of 2 cases].
The uterine atony are the most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Manual compression and pharmacologic methods are usually used with a successful result. When pharmacologic methods fail to control hemorrhage from atony, surgical measures should be undertaken to arrest the bleeding before it becomes life-threatening. We presents the utilization of electrical uterine defibrillation in two cases with acute hemorrhage confirming the effectivity of the proceeding.
