Oxytocin dosing for stable blood pressure in planned C-sections
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a female aged 18 to 40.
- You are pregnant with one baby and between 37 and 42 weeks.
- Your C-section is planned and done under spinal anesthesia (numb from waist down).
- You are generally healthy (no major heart or blood pressure problems).
- You are not taking certain blood pressure or heart medications (like beta-blockers).

This study compares two ways of giving the medicine oxytocin (which helps the womb tighten to reduce bleeding) after a C-section in women at high risk for heavy bleeding. It will see if giving it as a single injection or as a slow drip works better at preventing excessive blood loss.
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 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 looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
This study looks at how oxytocin (a medicine often used to help with labor and uterine contractions) moves through the body and what it does during a non-emergency C-section. It may help improve how oxytocin is used in the future for safer, more predictable delivery care.
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.
