Filter by:It is a multicenter randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial. Totally 6500 women to delivery by cesarean section will be recruited in this study. In addition to routinely oxytocin, the women in study group will receive TXA 1 g in 2 minutes after they delivered their babies, and those in control group will receive placebo. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, the amount of bleeding, as well as the side effects will be observed.
The overall study purpose is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and acceptability of advance distribution of misoprostol to be used as 'first aid treatment' administered by the woman herself or her family to help treat excessive bleeding in home births.
To determine if a balloon tamponade catheter filled with cold saline is more effective than a catheter filled with room temperature saline in controlling post partum hemorrhage.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of low dose of Tranexamic acid (1gm) and Ethamsylate (1gm) after prophylactic oxytocin administration versus placebo with prophylactic oxytocin given in the 2 minutes after child delivery in patient undergoing LSCS at high risk for post partum hemorrhage
The purpose of this study is to establish that routine administration of tranexamic acid during the third stage of labor effectively reduces blood loss in vaginal deliveries.
Postpartum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal haemorrhage globally. With active management of labour 3 to 16.5% of parturients still experience postpartum haemorrhage. Hence the need for an effective oxytocic in third stage of labour.
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.
Post-Partum Hemorrhage (PPH) is a common obstetrical complication. It may occur after both vaginal and cesarean delivery with a reported prevalence of 4-6% of deliveries [1]. Prophylactic treatment with oxytocin after fetus extraction is a common practice. [1,2]Transexamic acid - Hexakapron is a potent antifibrinolytic, it prevents lysine adhesion to plasminogen molecules by blocking its binding site. It can lower fibrinolysis rate and by that reduce bleeding [9]. Systematic treatment of anti-fibrinolytic drugs is in surgical practice after procedures such as coronary artery bypass graft, orthopedic surgeries and liver transplantation [10-13]. Hexakapron is an FDA approved drug, it is defined as a class B drug for pregnancy and lactation [12], it is already being used in a non-routine fashion in the delivery room during PPH.In obstetrics Hexakapron given before vaginal or cesarean delivery has been presumed to decrease blood loss and PPH. 2 studies that included 453 woman reported decrease in PPH (RR 0.51, 95% CI 0.36 to 0.72) [13-15]. However specific protocols for prophylactic treatment with Hexakapron as available with oxytocin are lacking, and further research is necessary to determine such guidelines [16].
To compare the efficacy of three different protocols of third stage management in preventing PPH.
Sublingual misoprostol is superior to oxytocin in reduction of blood loss during the third and fourth stages of labor
