One of the most perilous complications in obstetrics, often leading to severe bleeding and sometimes a need for urgent hysterectomy, is placenta accreta spectrum, which significantly increases the risk of peri-partum complications, even including the risk of death for the mother and the child. Dealing with excessive bleeding in this situation is paramount. We have found a Foley catheter tourniquet to be useful as a temporary tourniquet to control placental and uterine hemorrhage. We have used this method and find it very useful. In this publication, we describe the last two cases of the use of the Foley catheter as a tourniquet for peri-partum hemorrhage prevention, and we will present a review of the literature in this field.
胎盘植入谱系疾病是产科最危险的并发症之一，常导致严重出血，有时需要紧急子宫切除术，显著增加围产期并发症的风险，甚至包括母婴死亡的风险。处理这种情况下的大量出血至关重要。我们发现 Foley 导管止血带可用作临时止血带，以控制胎盘和子宫出血。我们使用了这种方法，发现非常有效。在本出版物中，我们描述了最后两例使用 Foley 导管作为止血带预防围产期出血的病例，并将对该领域的文献进行回顾。
