Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome variable of the study is the incidence of uterine atony and hence PPH in cesarean section (PPH is defined by a blood loss more than 1000ml, need for a second line uterotonic or any additional mechanical/surgical measures by surgeon to stop bleeding like bimanual compression, uterine packing, balloon tamponade, B lynch sutures, Cho sutures, Hayman sutures, uterine artery ligation or embolization or hysterectomy).Timepoint: 0 to 24 hours | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study intends to compare the amount of intraoperative blood loss, requirement of intravenous fluids and blood products if PPH occur in a case. The study also aims to compare intraoperative hemodynamic parameters between the two groups. Total units of oxytocin boluses and other uterotonics used in 24 hours will also be recorded. Uterine tone will be assessed by numerical rating score(0-100) at 3, 6, and 10 minutes after fetal delivery and the absolute 10 minute score as well as relative from 10-3 and 10-6 minute scores will also be analysed.Timepoint: 0 to 24 hours | — |
