title: [Treatment of postpartum hemorrhage with intrauterine hydrostatic condom].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report of experience of intrauterine hydrostatic condom to control obstetric hemorrhage.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive, retro-prospective study. The method was use in patients who had obstetric hemorrhage and do not responded to medical management during the period from March 1st to August27, 2015 in a rural facility.
  
  
  RESULTS
  955 patients that had a vaginal delivery were identified, 40 (4.1%) of which needed the application of the method. The method was unsuccessful in 2 of 40 patients (5%), one requiring emergency obstetric hysterectomy and other exploratory laparotomy with conservative measures. 11 of 40 patients (2 7.5%) required at least 1-3 globular packs transfusion. None of the 38 patients (95%) who responded to the method presented endometritis in the postpartum follow up or complications associated with the use of hydrostatic condom.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The use of intrauterine hydrostatic condom is an effective method to control postpartum obstetric hemorrhage secondary to uterine atony unresponsive to medical management.
