Summary
Although prior dose-finding studies have investigated the optimal bolus dose of oxytocin to
initiate adequate uterine tone, it is unclear what oxytocin infusion regimen is required to
maintain adequate uterine tone after delivery. The study investigators aim to compare two
different infusion rates of oxytocin to assess the optimal infusion regimen for reducing
blood loss in women undergoing elective Cesarean delivery.
