Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), is the leading cause of maternal mortality and is responsible for approximately 25% of maternal mortality deaths.It is defined as blood loss in excess of 500 ml following vaginal childbirth. Primary (immediate) PPH occurs within the first 24 hours after delivery.
In clinical practice, if after giving birth, the placenta is not expelled naturally, an active management should be triggered. After obstetric maneuvers therapeutic, options begin with uterotonic treatments before considering invasive treatments such as embolization, vessel ligation and hysterectomy. However, the morbidity associated with these techniques and the desire to preserve fertility mean that new therapeutic solutions have been conceived, which has recently led to the development of an innovative intrauterine hemostasis medical device : a hemostatic intrauterine suction cup.
Assuming that postpartum hemorrhages are mainly due to uterine atony, we propose in this biomedical research, the study of a new medical device. Our hypothesis is that the uterine walls will append to the walls of the suction cup after the latter is put under vacuum. The actuation of the suction cup will lead to the aspiration of all sides of the uterus.
Considering that postpartum haemorrhage is an emergency situation where vital prognosis of the patient is engaged, we selected to collect the consent of the patient using an emergengy procedure.

The long-term objective of this study is to prove:
the equivalence of the number of post-operation hemorrhages, and maybe a decrease of the number of secondary hemorrhages
the decrease of pain and quicker re-feeding
an easier haemostasis
the simplification of the tonsillectomy surgical kit
the decrease of dissection time
