Abstract

The third stage of labor lasts from the time the baby is born until the maternal placenta is delivered. As a result, it is important to evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of oxytocin and carbetocin for third-trimester labor management. We divided 95 patients into two groups: group I received oxytocin and group II received carbetocin. We measured blood loss and duration at 72 hours and examined vitals and side effects after delivery. We discovered that there was no significant difference in side effects between the two groups (p value = 0.8). Although there was no difference, we concluded that carbetocin appeared to be a more effective alternative for minimizing blood loss in the third stage of labor.

Keywords
