Double-Blind Randomized Comparison of Carbetocin Versus Oxytocin for Decrease Blood Loss from Cesarean Section in Low-Risk Uterine Atony

Abstract

Objective: The primary objective focuses on amount of blood loss from cesarean section in low-risk uterine atony patients in the carbetocin group comparing to that in the oxytocin group. The secondary objectives are to compare the incidences of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) and blood transfusion, additional uterotonic use, hemoglobin and hematocrit change within 24 h after cesarean section and side effects between each group.
