Carbetocin alone versus carbetocin plus oxytocin for scheduled cesarean delivery
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two medication approaches to prevent excessive bleeding during planned cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Researchers want to see if one medication (carbetocin) works as well as carbetocin combined with a second medication (oxytocin).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two medications, carbetocin and misoprostol, to see which works better at preventing heavy bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage) after a vaginal delivery. It is for women who have one or more risk factors for heavy bleeding.
This trial tests whether a medication called carbetocin can help prevent heavy bleeding after giving birth to twins. If you are pregnant with twins and at least 23 weeks along, you may be able to join.
This trial compares giving oxytocin as a single injection versus a slow drip during C-sections in people at high risk for heavy bleeding after delivery. The goal is to find which method works better to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.
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 oxytocin (a medicine to help the uterus contract) during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It aims to see which method keeps blood pressure more stable.
