Brief summary

Comparative Study Between Oxytocin Versus Tranexamic Acid and Ethamsylate, Pre-operative Administration.

Detailed description

Caesarean Delivery commonly referred to as caesarean section and occasionally caesarean birth is defined as the delivery of a foetus(es) through surgical incisions made through the anterior abdominal wall (technically referred to as laparotomy) and the anterior uterine wall (technically denoted to as hysterotomy). Obstetric Hemorrhage (Intra operative OR post operative bleeding)is still the major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide contributing to nearly 25% of direct maternal deaths. And accounts for 50% of maternal mortality in low-income countries. So many Strategies reducing the intraoperative blood loss or post operative blood loss could be helpful in decreasing the risks of blood transfusion and the postoperative maternal morbidity. So these Medications are such as Oxytocin, Carbetocin, Misoprostol, Prostaglandin F2 alpha, methylergonovine, Tranexamic acid and Etamsylate . have been tried before to control bleeding during and after Cesarean Section.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intraoperative and Post operative bleeding(defined as blood loss ≥500 cc)First 2 hours after C-SectionOutcome of the study will be measured in terms of assessment of Hemoglobin level and Hematocrit level pre and post operatively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Sever PPH as bleeding is >1000 ccfirst 24 hours after C-SectionOutcome of the study will be measured in terms of assessment of Hemoglobin level and Hematocrit level post operatively.
