BACKGROUNDOxytocin is the uterotonic of choice in the prevention of uterine atony. It reduces blood loss during both vaginal deliveries (1) and caesarean sections. Its prophylactic and therapeutic administration is justified, because it is said to reduce the incidence of PPH by about 40%. However, bolus use of oxytocin is known to cause cardiovascular effects including tachycardia, hypotension and ST changes. Aims and Objectives-To compare the uterine tone, blood loss and haemodynamic responses on intravenous administration of oxytocin 5 units given as IV bolus or IV infusion in women undergoing Caesarean section under sub-arachnoid block.
