About this study

Official title: Carbetocin Versus Oxytocin for Prophylaxis Against Atonic Primary Post-partum Hemorrhage in High-risk Patients in Sohag University Hospital: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Comparison between Carbetocin and Oxytocin as prophylaxis against Primary Postpartum Hemorrhage.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be allocated randomly by simple randomization into either 1- the control group which will be given 10 IU oxytocin intravenously, OR 2- the treatment group which will be given 100 micrograms of carbetocin intravenously.

The trial will be conducted on patients with high risk of developing atonic primary postpartum hemorrhage. The trial will be single blinded. All patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria undergoing elective Caesarean section will be approached by the treating physician and will be asked to participate in the study. An informed written consent will be taken from each patient. The data collected will include base line characteristics such as age, parity, body mass index, the risk for Postpartum hemorrhage in each patient, amount of blood loss, blood units given, complete blood picture (pre and post operative) and coagulation profile.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Amount of Postpartum Hemorrhage

    Amount of Blood Loss in milliliters. Pre-operative patient's Hemoglobin (Hb) level and 24 hours post-operative will be assessed to quantify amount of blood loss. Additionally, all towels prepared for CS will weighed, and the weight will be marked on each pack before autoclaving. All towels (used and unused) will be weighed again after use, and a difference of 1 gm will be considered as equivalent to 1 mL of absorbed blood.

    Measured: First 24 hours after Delivery
