31 women having atonic PPH after caesarean section on OT table were recruited for the study. Plastic suction cannula which was connected to a suction machine was inserted and negative pressure of about 600 mm was created. Bleeding stopped in 21 cases within 9 minutes and blood accumulated in the suction tube ranged from 150-300 ml. This method has a success rate of 88.9%. It is cost effective needs minimal training and is very useful in saving maternal lives from atonic PPH.
