Comparator Agent  COMPARISON BETWEEN CARBETOCIN VERSUS OXYTOCIN FOR PREVENTION OF POST PARTUM HEMORRHAGE, HEMODYNAMIC PROFILE  in this study demographic profile, hemodynamic variable with post operative blood loss untill 24 hrs postpartum period is evaluated. tonicity of uterus in post part period is also considered 
Intervention  INTERVENTION DONE IN CASE OF CARBETOCIN VERSUS OXYTOCIN FOR PREVENTION OF POST PARTUM HEMORRHAGE  AIM •To assess the efficacy of carbetocin and oxytocin in preventing post-partum haemorrhage. OBJECTIVES 1.Primary outcome is to compare the efficacy of carbetocin and oxytocin in preventing intraoperative blood loss 2. Secondary outcome to compare the hemodynamic outcome and uterine atony. TECHNIQUE OF ANAESTHESIA patients with high risk of PPH posted for elective cesarean section will be selected and divided randomly by simple random sampling and divided into two groups. Pre- anaesthetic evaluation will be done the day prior to the operation and patient will be premedicated with Inj. Ranitidine 50 mg iv the night before . NPO will be maintained for 6 hours for solids and 4 hours for liquids and all the patients will receive maintenance fluids with I.V RL. On arrival at the O.T all patients will be connected to standard monitor . After clamping the umbilical cord of baby patient in Group CP will be receive Inj. Carbetocin 100 micrograms diluted in 10 ml RL and injected over 2 mins and patient in Group OP will receive oxytocin 10 U in 1000 ml RL @125ml/ hr. Blood loss will be estimated by weighing the difference in weight of the dry and blood soaked gauge and the amount of blood in suction container. Uterine tone will be assessed with palpation with the assistance of the surgeon. Continuous hemodynamic monitoring will be done throughout the perioperative period till 24 hrs starting from the initiation of the surgery.

Brief Summary   To summarise this study, postpartum haemorrhage is a major concern nowadays in high-risk patients for PPH undergoing cesarean section. although oxytocin is a gold standard drug in preventing PPH  and carbetocin a novel drug came to the market with flying colours is used to prevent PPH, comparing these two drugs by administering to high risk PPH patients who are all undergoing c section. 
in this study we can measure the hemodynamic variability in both intra operative as well post operative period.
