First-line treatment for PPH includes administration of uterotonic agents, when hemorrhage persists, alternative methods are often employed, including aortic compression, uterine balloon tamponade (UBT), and surgical interventions such as B-Lynch compression sutures and hysterectomy. In low-resource settings, access to emergency surgical services is often limited or non-existent and many women lose their lives due to uncontrolled hemorrhage
