Summary
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a common complication of childbirth and a leading cause of
maternal morbidity and mortality. The prompt and effective treatment of subjects with PPH
would reduce operation risks. Hence in this study, the efficacy of Oxytocin and Carbetocin
was compared in prevention of postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean sections.
