Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, accounting for around one-fourth of all maternal deaths. Elective Caesarean Section (ECS) is a known risk factor for PPH, with an incidence of PPH ranging from 3.3% to 6.5%. Oxytocin is the current standard of care for the prevention of PPH during ECS, with certain limitations, such as need for refrigeration and short half-life. Carbetocin is a newer uterotonic drug that has shown to be as effective as oxytocin in the prevention of PPH, with the added advantage of longer half-life and no need of refrigeration. However, there is a lack of data on the comparative effectiveness of Carbetocin and Oxytocin in preventing PPH during ECS.
