At Vani Vilas Hospital in Bengaluru, doctors have introduced a groundbreaking method, the Paily Aorta Clamp, to mitigate profuse bleeding during high-risk deliveries. Initially utilized in Kerala, this clamp was deployed successfully in Karnataka for the first time, showcasing its efficacy in averting complications associated with placenta previa. Developed by V.P. Paily, a senior obstetric consultant, this technique holds promise in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity.
Placenta previa, a serious obstetric complication, poses significant risks, particularly in cases of previous C-section scars. By preventing excessive blood loss and enabling cesarean deliveries with minimal complications, the Paily Aorta Clamp marks a significant advancement in emergency obstetric care. Its successful implementation underscores the importance of innovative interventions in improving maternal health outcomes and underscores the need for widespread adoption and training among medical professionals.
