A Comparative Study of Carbetocin and Oxytocin in Placental Separation and Postpartum Hemorrhage Control Following Vaginal and Cesarean Deliveries
Carbetocin is more effective than oxytocin in achieving faster placental separation, reducing third-stage labor duration, minimizing blood loss, and lowering the risk of atonic PPH in both normal and operative deliveries. Its longer duration of action and reduced need for repeat dosing make it a superior uterotonic agent for PPH prophylaxis.
