A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effects of two uterotonics, oxytocin and carbetocin, on hemodynamic changes during elective cesarean section surgeries. It will involve 80 patients aged 18-40 years, who will be randomly assigned to receive either oxytocin or carbetocin after general anesthesia induction. Hemodynamic parameters and intraoperative blood loss will be meticulously recorded at various intervals during the surgery to assess the efficacy of each drug. The study is designed as a double-blind trial to ensure unbiased results.
