• Status: Not yet recruiting

• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the primary cause of nearly one quarter of all maternal deaths globally. Management of uterine tone after delivery involves giving a prophylactic uterotonic and the use of controlled cord traction to facilitate delivery of the placenta and minimize blood loss. Syntocinon and carbetocin are the most commonly used drugs ,During caesarean delivery of stenotic valvular disease patient, the anesthesiologist have an important question: what is the best drug used for prevention of PPH with minimal hemodynamic effect regarding Systemic vascular resistance (SVR), Cardiac out put (COP),Heart rate ( HR), blood pressure? As uterotonic drugs may cause severe hypotension, decrease in SVR and COP that may not be tolerated by these patients .this thesis aims to compare between syntocinon and carbetocin regarding their effect on cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance using cardiometry in cardiac patients with stenotic lesions during caesarean delivery.
