Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To compare efficacy of intra umbilical oxytocin with that of intravenous oxytocin for active management of third stage of labour. Method: A randomized trial was undertaken in the department of obstetrics & Gynaecology Muzaffarnagar Medical College, Muzaffarnagar, in which two hundred patients were assigned in two groups. Group I received intraumbilical oxytocin 10 I.U. diluted in 10ml normal saline and Group II received intravenous oxytocin 10 units slowly after cord clamping in 3rd stage of labour. Outcomes were studied in form of blood loss and duration of 3rd stage of labour. Results: Mean postpartum blood loss was 95.35ml in group I & 125.9ml in group II and mean duration of 3rd stage of labour was 1.703 min in group I & 2.53 min in group II respectively. The difference in duration & blood loss were statistically significant. Conclusion: Intraumbilical oxytocin is more effective in comparison to intravenous oxytocin. Thus intraumbilical oxytocin is a safe and better alternative for AMTSL in Indian hospital setting. Keywords: Oxytocin, Labour, Postpartum Blood Loss, Mortality.
