Oxytocin drip during C-section labor to help maintain contractions
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a continuous oxytocin infusion during a C-section helps maintain labor progress in people already receiving oxytocin. It may help reduce labor-related complications, but only if you meet the safety requirements for anesthesia and pregnancy conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how well different doses of a contraction medicine work after an initial dose in women having a planned C-section. It may help find the best way to prevent bleeding after birth.
This study compares two ways of giving the medicine oxytocin (which helps the womb tighten to reduce bleeding) after a C-section in women at high risk for heavy bleeding. It will see if giving it as a single injection or as a slow drip works better at preventing excessive blood loss.
This study compares two ways of giving a drug called oxytocin during a planned C-section to see which is better at keeping your blood pressure and heart rate stable. It may help reduce dizziness or drops in blood pressure after the baby is born.
This trial tests two medicines given during a planned C-section to see which is better at preventing heavy bleeding. It may help make delivery safer for healthy women having a scheduled cesarean.
This study tests whether giving a medication (misoprostol) rectally during a planned C-section can help reduce blood loss after delivery. It may help women have a safer recovery with less bleeding.
This study compares two medicines—carbetocin and oxytocin—given during a planned cesarean to help prevent heavy bleeding after delivery. It is for women who have certain risk factors for uterine atony (when the uterus does not tighten up after birth).
