The study will include (345) pregnant women attending for elective cesarean delivery in the Kasr Elaini hospital (faculty of medicine - Cairo university).
All the patients will be subjected to informed written consent, full medical history, clinical examination, obstetric ultrasonography,
Background:
Foetal distress which refers to fetal heart rate of less than 120 or more than 160 beats per minute(Pildner von Steinburg et al., 2013) during labour is one of the contributing factors to poor newborn outcomes. A proportion of these newborns will require interventions after birth such as
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of death during childbirth and accounts for an estimated 140,000 deaths per year worldwide. Furthermore, recent evidence has shown that the rate of PPH secondary to uterine atony is increasing.
Multiple pregnancy is a well-recognized risk
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of death during childbirth and accounts for an estimated 140,000 deaths per year worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends active management of the third stage of labor to prevent PPH, even in low risk patients. Prophylactic
PPH occurs in approximately 1-5% of deliveries in the United States and accounts for 20-25% of maternal deaths worldwide. PPH is difficult to predict, but classically, risk factors for PPH- uterine atony, abruption, retained tissue, lacerations, infection, obesity, preeclampsia, magnesium

1.2.2 Secondary Objectives 1.2.2.1 To study the biological activity and stability of ginger extract. 1.2.2.2 To compare pain scores by
The United States is one of the few modern countries in which maternal peripartum mortality continues to rise. One of the three most important causes of maternal mortality is severe hemorrhage. Controlling postpartum uterine tone remains an important role for the obstetric anesthesiologist.
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal death worldwide. Oxytocin is the most commonly used uterotonic drug to prevent and treat PPH in the world. However, oxytocin has a very short duration of action, requiring a continuous infusion to achieve sustained uterotonic activity.
Background Some maternal blood loss normally occurs at the time of vaginal delivery. The best estimates indicate that a loss of approximately 500 mL is average, with a range of about 250-700 mL.[1,2] Some of this bleeding arises from birth canal lacerations or surgical incisions (i.e., episiotomy),
The current oxytocin regimen requires the administration of a continuous infusion to achieve sustained uterotonic activity, which can be associated with a number of side effects and unpredictable efficacy. Carbetocin in a single 100 mcg dose has apparently greater efficacy, with a similar side
We conducted a prospective non-randomized study at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Benha University Hospital, since March 2013 till June 2015, after approval of the study protocol by the Local Ethical Committee. A written informed consent was obtained from eligible women before induction or
Postpartum hemorrhage is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in the world, and it is most often caused by uterine atony. To prevent this complication, uterotonic medication is used during elective cesarean section.
Carbetocin, a long-acting synthetic analogue of oxytocin, has been used for this
Postpartum hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Carbetocin have been shown effective in the prevention of uterine atony, which is the leading cause of postpartum hemorrhage. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada recommends a single 100 mcg
