Summary

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) remains an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and it accounts for approximately 25% of all deaths worldwide. Drugs such as oxytocin, carbetocin, misoprostol, prostaglandin F2a and methylergonovine have been tested for bleeding control during and after cesarean section. Oxytocin is the most widely used agent for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage.The primary aim of this study is to reduce the mean blood loss during cesarean section.In this study, the investigators planned to compare peroperative and postoperative blood loss levels by giving oxytocin alone to the 1st group, oxytocin and intrauterine misoprostol to the 2nd group, and carbetocin to the 3rd group of patients who were randomly divided into 3 groups.In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of oxytocin, misoprostol and carbetocin in preventing uterine blood loss during cesarean section.

Interventions

DRUG

I.V Oxytocin administration

Group I: Oxytocin( the oxytocin infusion consisting of 20 IU dissolved in 500 mL of normal 0.9 % sodium chloride solution and infused at a rate of 125 mL/h was administered immediately after clamping the umbilical cord). Group II:oxytocin plus intrauterine misoprostol (the oxytocin infusion was administered immediately after clamping the umbilical cord and misoprostol tablet (400 mg) was placed into uterine cavity at the fundus after delivery of the placenta and swabbing the cavity.
