Calcium gluconate to reduce bleeding during planned C-section
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving calcium gluconate during a planned cesarean can reduce blood loss. It may be an option for women who are at least 35 weeks pregnant and have no conditions that affect calcium or heart rhythm.

This trial tests if giving calcium through an IV before a C-section can help reduce blood loss in women at higher risk for heavy bleeding due to the uterus not contracting well.
This study tests whether giving calcium through an IV during a C-section can reduce blood loss during the procedure. It is for women who are having a C-section after labor has started and who have already received oxytocin to help with contractions.
This study tests whether giving tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, before a cesarean section can reduce blood loss during and after the surgery. It may help women who are at higher risk of bleeding during delivery.
This study tests whether applying a medicine called tranexamic acid directly to the uterus during a scheduled cesarean can reduce bleeding. It may help women who are having their first or second cesarean delivery.
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid can prevent heavy bleeding after a planned or urgent cesarean delivery in people with placenta previa. If you qualify, you may receive the study drug to help your body keep blood loss lower during and after surgery.
