Abstract
Summary In both the present and previous study the morbidity, in terms of temperature elevation over 100.4° F. was surprisingly low. Fear of infection has frequently been responsible for undue delay in packing a bleeding, atonic uterus. With the great reduction in morbidity and infection resulting from the addition of sulfanilamide to the pack, its early use in the control of hemorrhage is to be recommended. This study is a continuation of work on sulfanilamide impregnated gauze for uterine packs and reports on the physical features of such packs. From these studies we believe a glycerin 20 per cent sulfanilamide gauze made up as a 2 1/2–inch (16–fold) by 5–yard roll, prepared in a sealed glass container is the most satisfactory pack for intrauterine tamponade for use in the average hospital delivery room.
