ABSTRACT:
An alternative to internal stitches in the care of small bleeders in the vaginally delivered patient that can avoid the chance of a needle stick is the application of direct pressure and cold. An expansible internal pressure cold pack that conforms softly to the contours of a body orifice is inserted prior to inflation. Cold fluid is inserted through a needle insert plug to inflate the bag as the pressure is metered within the vault to apply just enough pressure to avoid or control any small problem after stabilization of any delivery related problem. The inner suspended ice capsule is insulated centrally as the balloon-like bag is inflated to seek out small sulcus or cervical bleeders, hematomas and to deter edema of the traumatized tissue. Attachment of the inner wall of the pack, to suspend the ice capsule centrally, forms vertical drainage channels for body fluid along the bag outer wall. External cold pressure is provided by the perineal pad ice pack to enhance the effectiveness in the deterrent of edema.
