Timing of Carbetocin Administration in Postpartum Hemorrhage

Mehmet Mete Kırlangıç200 enrolled

Overview

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is one of the major contributors to maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Active management of the third stage of labour has been proven to be effective in the prevention of PPH. Syntometrine is more effective than oxytocin but is associated with more side effects. Carbetocin, a long-acting oxytocin agonist, appears to be a promising agent for the prevention of PPH. The use of carbetocin, being an important agent in the prevention of PPH, also increases its prevalence. It is planned to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the timing of its use.
