Determining the effect of bilateral hypogastric artery occlusion on the bleeding rate of patients with abnormal placental adhesion referred to Imam Sajjad Hospital, Yasuj, Iran
-
Design
-
A randomised clinical trial with two intervention groups, with parallel groups, without blinding, on 40 patients, and kitset.ir website was used for randomization.
-

-
Main outcome variables
-
The amount of bleeding during the operation; the amount of blood received; The duration of hospitalization after the operation; the duration of the operation.
