Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Spinal anaesthesia will be administered as per standard protocol. At the time of clamping the umbilical cord, oxytocin 3 U will be administered i.v. over a period of 1 min to all the patients. Immediately after this injection, oxytocin infusion will be started at a rate depending on group allocation viz. 2.5 IU/hr or 5 IU/hr or 10 IU/hr. Inadequate uterine tone will be managed with maximum of two rescue doses of oxytocin and carboprost thereafter, if required.
Estimated blood loss, adequacy of uterine tone, need for additional uterotonics, change in haemoglobin level at 4 and 24 hours, and any oxytocin related side-effects will be assessed.
