Uterine packing to control obstetrical hemorrhage has been generally discouraged over the past several decades. Intractable uterine hemorrhage postpartum or following an abortion is an extremely vexing management problem for the physician and continues to be a leading cause of maternal mortality. Uterine packing should be considered as a presurgical management tool after lacerations of the lower genital tract, uterine rupture, or retained products have been ruled out and when conventional therapy fails to control uterine hemorrhage. We describe two obstetrical patients with intractable uterine hemorrhage who were managed with uterine packing in combination with other methods of therapy. Causes of obstetrical hemorrhage and techniques of packing the uterus are discussed.
