One dose, big impact: Revisiting carbetocin in high‐risk polyhydramnios deliveries
Among women with isolated polyhydramnios, carbetocin offers superior prophylactic control of PPH compared to oxytocin and oxytocin-ergometrine regimens. Its long-acting effect provides sustained uterine contraction, reducing the need for additional interventions. Carbetocin might be especially beneficial in high-risk cases of uterine overdistension, supporting its targeted use in individualized obstetric care.
