摘要
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency causing nearly one-quarter of maternal deaths worldwide, 99% of these in low-resource settings (LRSs). Uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) devices are a nonsurgical treatment to stop PPH. In LRSs, low-cost versions of UBT devices are based on the condom balloon tamponade (CBT) technique, but their effectiveness is limited. This paper discusses the experimental study to assess the usability and performance of a medical device, BAMBI, designed as an alternative to current CBT devices. The testing phase involved medical and non-medical personnel and was focused on testing BAMBI's usability and effectiveness compared to a standard CBT solution. We collected measures of the execution time and the procedure outcome. Different training procedures were also compared. Results show a significant preference for the BAMBI device. Besides, medical and non-medical subjects reached comparable outcomes. This aspect is highly relevant in LRSs where the availability of medical personnel could be limited.
