Abstract
Background
The use of uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) devices for intrauterine packing and management of vaginal bleeding by uterine atony has shown promising results in improving the quality of care and reducing maternal mortality.
Objective
This report aims to provide an overview of progress made in implementing UBT devices in northern Cote d'Ivoire.
Material and methods
A four-year retrospective study was conducted in the North-East (163,645), North-Center (351,909), and North-West (57,983). In 2017, UBT was adopted by members of the healthcare system. Subsequently, 5 national and 32 regional trainers have been trained. The training session was a theoretical and practical program with a low simulator. UBT is a male condom tied to a urinary catheter, filled with liquid. Positive outcomes included stopping bleeding, avoiding the need for surgery, and preventing maternal deaths (MD). In 2018, 3,515 UBT devices were distributed. In 2019, monitoring tools and transmission circuits of the data were validated. In 2020, the collection of data and local manufacturing was launched.
Results
During the process, 978 health workers, mainly midwife (52.0%) and nurses (32.2%) out of the 1,295 assigned were trained. The number of trained individuals decreased from 209 in 2019 to 160 in 2020. A total of 1,715 UBT devices were locally manufactured, adding to the existing gift of 5,080 devices, with total availability of 6,795. The distribution of devices increased from 2017 to 2019 but decreased in 2020. Success rates increased from 87.3% in 2017 (365/418) to 95.0% in 2019 (556/585) and slightly decreased in 2020 to 98.0% (681/695). Adverse outcomes (144/2,193), included MD (35/2,193) and medical evacuation to the surgical center (109/2,193).
Conclusion
The implementation of UBT in northern Cote d'Ivoire successfully reduced maternal death rates caused by immediate post-partum hemorrhage (IPPH). However, to ensure sustainability, further improvements are needed, including increased monitoring, ongoing training, and device availability.
