Comparing Intra-Umbilical Versus Intravenous Oxytocin in Women During the Third Stage of Labor for Reducing Blood Loss
Comparing the Effect of Intra-Umbilical Versus Intravenous Oxytocin During Third Stage of Labor on Mean Blood Loss
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether giving oxytocin through the umbilical cord is more effective than giving it through a vein in reducing blood loss during the third stage of labor. The third stage of labor is the period between the birth of the baby and the delivery of the placenta. Excessive bleeding after delivery, known as postpartum hemorrhage, is a major cause of maternal illness and death worldwide. Oxytocin is commonly used to help the uterus contract and reduce bleeding after childbirth.
The main question this study aims to answer is:
Does intra-umbilical oxytocin reduce the average amount of blood loss during the third stage of labor compared with intravenous oxytocin?
Researchers will conduct a randomized controlled trial involving 60 women with uncomplicated pregnancies who are in spontaneous labor. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups.
Participants in the first group will receive 10 IU oxytocin intravenously at the delivery of the baby's anterior shoulder. Participants in the second group will receive 10 IU oxytocin injected into the umbilical cord after the baby is delivered.
In both groups, the placenta will be delivered using controlled cord traction. Blood loss will be measured by collecting blood in a kidney tray and by weighing pre-weighed sanitary pads for the first 24 hours after delivery.
Researchers will compare the average blood loss between the two groups to determine which method of administering oxytocin is more effective in reducing postpartum bleeding.

Aktiv komparator: Intravenous Oxytocin
Women in this group will receive 10 IU oxytocin administered intravenously at the delivery of the anterior shoulder of the baby during the third stage of labor.
|
10 IU oxytocin diluted in normal saline administered slowly via intravenous route at the time of delivery of the anterior shoulder to facilitate uterine contraction and reduce blood loss.
|
|
Experimentell: Intraumbilical Oxytocin
Women in this group will receive 10 IU oxytocin administered through the umbilical vein after delivery of the baby during the third stage of labor.
|
10 IU oxytocin diluted in 10 mL normal saline injected into the umbilical vein approximately 2 cm from the introitus after delivery of the baby, with the solution gently milked toward the placental insertion to promote placental separation and reduce blood loss.

Mean Blood Loss During the Third Stage of Labor and Within the First 24 Hours After Vaginal Delivery
Tidsram: From delivery of the baby until 24 hours postpartum
|
The average amount of blood lost after delivery will be measured in milliliters.
Blood loss will be collected in a kidney tray immediately after delivery and quantified using a graduated cylinder.
Additional blood loss during the first 24 hours postpartum will be measured using pre-weighed sanitary pads (1 gram weight increase = 1 mL blood loss).
