In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study will investigate the effects of drugs called "uterotonics" that help with the contraction of the uterus after a baby is born. This uterine contraction is very important to stop the bleeding after delivery. An uncontracted uterine state is called "uterine atony", which can lead to an excessive amount of post-delivery bleeding. Carbetocin is an uterotonic drug that works well to prevent post-delivery bleeding. In some cases, carbetocin is not enough to contract the uterus, and ongoing bleeding continues. When that happens, there are other uterotonic medications that can be used. In this study, we aim to find which uterotonic drug, amongst those available (oxytocin, carbetocin, ergometrine or carboprost), is more effective to lower the risk of post-delivery bleeding once carbetocin has already been administered. This study will be done by using a very small sample of uterine tis
