Efficacy of Oxytocin vs. Carbetocin in Prevention of Postpartum Hemorrhage After Cesarean Section
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.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  At least one risk for postpartum hemorrhage and lack of hypersensitivity to oxytocin
 and carbetocin

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients' refusal to cooperate, major therapeutic side effects, history of cardiac and
 renal disease or preeclampsia
