Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.

Carbetocin Versus Oxytocin in Caesarean Section for the Control of Postpartum Haemorrhage

Start date: June 2015
Phase: Phase 0
Study type: Interventional

Post-partum haemorrhage is one of the life threatening emergencies. It accounts for nearly one-quarter of all maternal death worldwide. Atonic uterus contributes about 80% among the causes. Uterotonic drugs are administered following the delivery of baby both in vaginal and caesarean delivery for prevention of PPH. However postpartum haemorrhage cannot always be prevented. But, the incidence and especially its magnitude can be reduced by assessing the risk factors and following the guidelines. The intelligent anticipation, skilled supervision, prompt detection and effective institution of therapy can prevent a normal case from undergoing disastrous consequences. This study will be carried out at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) within six months after approval. This is a Randomized Control Trial which will compare efficacy of Carbetocin and Oxytocin for the control of PPH. Structured Questionnaire, Data Sheet, hospital indoor documents i.e. Patient chart, operation notes, surgeons visual estimation of blood loss etc will be used as study tool. Ethical clearance will be obtained from Institutional Review Board of BSMMU. Written informed consent will be obtained from the patient or from her legal guardian. Patient confidentiality will be strictly maintained. No name, address or contact details of the patient will be divulged.
