Comparison of Low Dose versus High Dose of Oxytocin for Initiating Uterine Contraction During Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Trial

摘要

Oxytocin is used for initiating uterine contraction and preventing postpartum hemorrhage during caesarean delivery. Using a lower dosage of oxytocin may lower the risk of adverse effects while still being effective in stimulating initial uterine contraction. We aimed to compare the effectiveness and side effects of the standard 10 IU bolus of oxytocin with those of a 5 IU bolus during caesarean delivery.
