Description of intervention(s) / exposure
One hundred fifty women with singleton term pregnancy
undergoing elective or emergency lower segment cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were included in this study. The patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups of 50 each.,The oxytocin group(group O) received intravenous infusion of 20 units of oxytocin soon after delivery of the neonate and one tablet of placebo sublingually. (20 IU syntocinon dissolved in 1liter of lactated Ringer’s solution) at the rate of 1000 ml
over a 1h period, immediately after delivery of the neonate ,The misoprostol group (groupM) received 400 microgram sublingually and infusion of lactated Ringer ( which one ampoule placebo dissolved it) and the combined misoprostol-oxytocin group(group MO) received 200 microgram and 5 iu oxytocin bolous intravenously immediately after delivery of the neonate .
