Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Carbetocin  Carbetocin is a synthetic oxytocin analogue with a longer half life compared to oxytocin. Patient will recieve 100 mcg of IV Carbetocin diluted in 10 ml Normal Saline injected over 1 min. 
Intervention  Oxytocin  Oxytocin is a uterotonic with rapid onset of action but relatively shorter acting. Patient will recieve 10 IU of IV Oxytocin diluted in 10 ml Normal Saline, 5 IU will be given as bolus over 1 min and 5 IU will be given as infusion.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Compare the differences in haemodynamic responses using Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) among both the groups before and after administration of uterotonics after delivery of baby.  Baseline, 30 sec after, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min and 30 min after administration of uterotonic after delivery of baby. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1- Compare other haemodynamic parameters like Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Heart rate (HR), Oxygen saturation (SpO2) and compare need for vasopressor support after administration of uterotonic after delivery of baby,
2- Compare level of uterine contraction achieved and if any additional dose of uterotonics is required,
3- Compare the amount of blood loss and requirement of transfusion if any. 
Baseline, 30 sec after, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min and 30 min after administration of uterotonic after delivery of baby

Response - NO
Brief Summary   A total of 174 pregnant women undergoing elective LSCS under sub arachnoid block will be enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups of 87 each by computer generated randomized table. Study drugs will be administered after the delivery of baby and clamping of cord. Effect of the drugs will be noted on MAP, SBP, DBP, HR and oxygen saturation  as baseline and then followed by 30 sec, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min and 30 min after administration of drugs. Other parameters like level of uterine contraction achieved, additional dose of uterotonics if required, dose of vasopressors used, amount of blood loss during operation, requirement of transfusion if any and any other adverse effect will also be assessed. Thus, hemodynamic effects of uterotonics oxytocin and carbetocin  will be compared.
