Instructions for completing this survey:
For the purpose of this survey, balloon tamponade technology (BTT) refers to the use of a balloon-like structure that is insufflated, usually with saline, within the uterine cavity, and more recently in the vagina, to create a “tamponade effect” in the management of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).
Balloon tamponade technology devices include: Bakri balloon, Condom Catheters, Foley catheters, 3-way urology catheters, Rusch Balloon or Sengstaken-Blakemore tubes.

Second line approaches (SLA) in the management of PPH include: uterine compression sutures, vascular ligation, vascular embolisation and hysterectomy
