Oxytocin dosing for high-risk C-section patients
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a planned cesarean section (not an emergency).
- You will be awake with spinal anesthesia for the surgery.
- You are considered high risk for heavy bleeding after delivery based on a standard checklist.
- You can give consent in English or Spanish.

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.
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.
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).
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 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 compares two doses of oxytocin (a medicine given during cesarean section to prevent heavy bleeding) to see which works better for women with high-risk pregnancies. If you are having a planned cesarean and have certain risk factors, this trial may help find the best dose for you.
