Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the hemodynamic effects (blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) of intravenous oxytocin and carbetocin in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.Timepoint: After delivery of the baby and clamping of the umbilical cord, patients will receive either oxytocin or carbetocin. Every 5 minutes for the first 30 minutes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the incidence of severe hypotension requiring vasopressor intervention. 2. To evaluate the need for additional uterotonic agents. 3. To analyze the frequency of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and chest discomfort. 4. To observe uterine tone response and blood loss estimation intraoperatively.Timepoint: Intraoperatively
