The Bakri balloon is a medical device invented and designed by Dr. Younes Noaman Bakri in 1999. [ 1 ] The obstetrical balloon is a 24 French , 54 cm-long, silicone catheter with a filling capacity of 500 mL.
The authors of the study recommend BBT be included in the PPH protocol. [5] An alternative to the Bakri is the BT-Cath (balloon-tamponade catheter) which has an easy-fill system allowing single person inflation and saving time in the theatre setting. The BT-Cath is more pear-shaped and contours to the uterus more easily than the Bakri.
Uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) is a non-surgical method of treating refractory postpartum hemorrhage.Once postpartum hemorrhage has been identified and medical management given (including agents such as uterotonics and tranexamic acid), UBT may be employed to tamponade uterine bleeding without the need to pursue operative intervention.
[1] [16] Balloon tamponade is the suggested method of tamponade in guidelines for management of PPH. [28] A bakri balloon to tamponade (also with vaginal packing) can be used with Foley catheter insertion to facilitate bladder drainage.
The hot membrane surface of the array ablates the endometrium. The Minerva procedure is the fastest FDA approved treatment, average procedure time is 3.1 minutes from device insertion to removal, and is usually performed under local and/or conscious sedation anesthesia. Most patients leave the treatment center within one hour of treatment.
A ureteric balloon catheter is a balloon catheter intended for treating strictures of the ureter. In fact it is a double J stent on which a balloon is mounted. It is connected to a delivery device (pusher) to introduce it from the bladder into the ureter. The system comprises a non-return valve device, and a pusher with a stylet and two ports.
Aortic valvuloplasty, also known as balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), is a procedure used to improve blood flow through the aortic valve in conditions that cause aortic stenosis, or narrowing of the aortic valve. It can be performed in various patient populations including fetuses, newborns, children, adults, and pregnant women.
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a minimally-invasive procedure performed during resuscitation of critically-injured trauma patients. Originally developed as a less invasive alternative to emergency thoracotomy with aortic cross clamping, REBOA is performed to gain rapid control of non-compressible truncal or ...
