Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oxytocin Infusions and Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Delivery. (NCT NCT01932060)

NCT ID: NCT01932060

Last Updated: 2017-02-01

Results Overview

Blood loss will be measured volumetrically (based on measured volume of blood within the suction chamber) and gravimetrically (based on blood weight on blood soaked laps).

Measure
Oxytocin Infusion 1
Oxytocin Infusion 15 U/hr to begin after the delivery of the fetus and to terminate at the time of patient discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit. Oxytocin Infusion: Patient will receive a blinded infusion of oxytocin after the time of delivery of the fetus which will terminate at the time of discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit.
Oxytocin Infusion 2
Oxytocin infusion 2.5 U/hr to begin after the delivery of the fetus and to terminate at the time of discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit. Oxytocin Infusion: Patient will receive a blinded infusion of oxytocin after the time of delivery of the fetus which will terminate at the time of discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit.
