Study Details

Testing SERENE-KOKO Device for People with Postpartum Hemorrhage

(IRB#: IRB_00181690)

Postpartum hemorrhage is a condition of excessive bleeding after a person gives birth. This study will test KOKO a device to treat people with this condition. This study wants to see if the device will help people with this condition and if it is safe. People in the study will have abnormal postpartum bleeding within 24 hours after giving birth, and the bleeding will not stop with the use of medication or massage. The KOKO device will then be placed in the uterus to control bleeding for at least 90 minutes. General information about the hospital stay will be collected, including medications that may affect bleeding. At about 6 weeks after giving birth, participants will attend a standard postpartum doctor visit exam.
