Steps of intrauterine balloon placement procedure

Generally, to promote labor and prevent uterine bleeding or adhesions, intrauterine balloon placement is commonly performed as a treatment. The specific procedure is as follows:

1. After the patient empties the bladder, position her in the lithotomy position and disinfect the vulva and vagina.

2. Insert a vaginal speculum and disinfect the vagina and cervical os again.

3. Use a uterine clamp to adjust the position of the uterus.

4. Use a probe to determine the direction and depth of the cervix.

5. Insert the balloon into the vagina and adjust its size according to the diameter of the cervical os.

6. Place the entire balloon into the uterine cavity and inject normal saline into the balloon.

7. Remove the balloon 24 to 48 hours after placement by slowly releasing the fluid inside; once all liquid is drained, gently pull out the balloon.

8. Dry the patient's genital area, help her dress, and conclude the procedure.

Intrauterine balloon placement should be performed at a正规 hospital under the guidance of a qualified physician.
