Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the efficacy of Oxytocin and Carbetocin in terms of intraoperative blood loss, additional uterotonic needed and adverse effects if any in caesarean delivery with high risk of post-partum haemorrhage. To compare the hemodynamic effects of Oxytocin and Carbetocin (effects on heart rate and blood pressure)
 
Heart rate and blood pressure noted before skin incision, after 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, at the time of skin closure, after 2 hours, after 12 hours. Uterine tone noted at time of delivery and after 3 minutes, 6 minutes, 9 minutes, 12 minutes, 2 hours, 12 hours.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

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

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Post partum hemorrhage(PPH) is still a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. PPH is responsible for majority of maternal mortality in India and globally. There have been few studies/literature of effectiveness of  carbetocin for the prevention of PPH  following cesarean delivery, hence we decided to do a prospective study comparing prophylactic administration of oxytocin and carbetocin and to study its efficacy in prevention of PPH in high-risk females undergoing cesarean delivery.
