Comparison of Intravenous Carbetocin (100 Mcg) and Intravenous Oxytocin (10 IU) for the Prevention of Postpartum Hemorrhage Following Emergency Cesarean Section
Carbetocin demonstrated superior efficacy in preventing PPH compared to oxytocin, with lower blood loss, reduced need for additional interventions, and improved uterine tone. Carbetocin is a viable and safer alternative to oxytocin for PPH prevention, especially in emergency cesarean sections.
