Comparing oxytocin delivery methods during cesarean section
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
