Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  normal saline bolus of 3 ml after delivery of fetus in emergency cesarean section and umbilical cord is clamped  Women in this group will receive 3 ml of placebo solution (normal saline alone) bolus over 15 seconds after delivery of the fetus, which will be followed immediately by continous infusion of oxytocin 10 IU in 500 of 0.9% normal saline at the rate of 40 mU/min for a period of at least two hours after caesarean section. 
Intervention  oxytocin bolus 3 IU after delivery of fetus in emergency cesarean section and umbilical cord is clamped  Women in this group will receive 3 IU of oxytocin (diluted as 3 ml of solution in normal saline) bolus over 15 seconds after delivery of the fetus, which will be followed immediately by continous infusion of oxytocin 10 IU in 500 of 0.9% normal saline at the rate of 40 mU/min for a period of at least two hours after caesarean section.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

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

Brief Summary   80 women for emergency cesarean section will be randomized in to two groups after fulfillment of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group 1 will receive 3 IU oxytocin bolus and group 2 will receive 3 ml of placebo (0.9% normal saline solution), after delivery of fetus and clamping of umbilical cord. All women will receive oxytocin infusion @ 40 mU/min. All women will receive 2 ml (0.5%) bupivacaine intra-thecally in L3-L4. These women will be compared for obstetrical hemorrhage, hemodynamic profile (BP, Pulse rate, Mean arterial pressure), > 20% fall in hematocrit, need for blood transfusion, side effect profile, duration of surgery and need for manual removal of placenta.
