May 9, 2019 updated by: ClinAmygate

The Impacts of Using Amr's Maneuver (Cervical Traction) on Atonic Postpartum Hemorrhage; Multi-centre Randomized Controlled Study

The impacts of using Amr's manoeuvre (cervical traction) on atonic postpartum hemorrhage is a randomized controlled, multi-centre study that aims to compare the incidence of post partum hemorrhage (PPH> 500 ml blood loss) within the first 24 hours of labor after using Amr's maneuver with active management of the third stage versus active management alone
