Abstract

The third stage of labor lasts from the time the baby is born until the maternal placenta is delivered. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of oxytocin and carbetocin for third-trimester labor management. Hence, we divided 95 patients into two groups: group I received oxytocin and group II received carbetocin. We measured blood loss at 72 hours duration and further examined vitals as well as side effects after delivery. We found that there was no significant difference in side effects between the two groups (p value = 0.8). However, that carbetocin appeared to be a more effective alternative for minimizing blood loss in the third stage of labor.

Keywords: Third stage of labour; blood loss; carbetocin; delivered; oxytocin; side effects; vitals.
