Comparing two medicines for bleeding during c-section under general anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two drugs, oxytocin and carbetocin, to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate changes during cesarean section surgery. Both medicines help the uterus contract after delivery to reduce bleeding.

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 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 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).
This trial compares two ways of giving oxytocin (a medicine that helps the uterus contract) during a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. It will check how each method affects your blood pressure and heart rate during and after delivery.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia techniques used during a planned cesarean section to see which one is better at preventing a drop in blood pressure. If you are scheduled for a cesarean section, this trial may help improve your care and comfort.
This study compares two ways to prevent heavy bleeding after a C-section. One uses a combination of three medicines, and the other uses a single medicine. The goal is to find which is safer and more effective at reducing blood loss.
