Hemodynamic and Uterotonic Effects of Carbetocin Versus Oxytocin in a Cesarean Section With a High Risk of Postpartum Hemorrhage
Carbetocin was found to be more effective than oxytocin in managing high-risk cesarean deliveries, offering better control over intraoperative blood loss, maintaining uterine tone, and reducing the need for additional uterotonics. Its prolonged uterotonic effect and stable hemodynamic profile make it a superior choice for PPH prevention in CSs.
