Prophylactic ergometrine-oxytocin versus oxytocin for the third stage of labour

Abstract

Prophylactic ergometrine-oxytocin versus oxytocin for the third stage of labour (Review)

Uterotonic agents for preventing postpartum haemorrhage: a network meta-analysis

“…Our results generally agree with other Cochrane reviews that focus on the comparison of one uterotonic agent versus another (direct comparisons) [ 8 , 15 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. However, this network meta‐analysis includes more trials than these previous reviews as it compares all available uterotonic agents in one single analysis, and so some estimates differ.…”

“…Our results agree with existing Cochrane Reviews (Begley 2015; Liabsuetrakul 2018; McDonald 2004; Su 2012; Tuncalp 2012; Westhoff 2013) that focus on the comparison of a uterotonic agent versus another (direct comparisons). However, this network meta‐analysis has several more studies than included in the previous reviews because of its nature of comparing all available uterotonic agents in one single analysis and because it is the most up‐to‐date including recently published trials.…”

A randomised controlled study for the prevention of post-partum haemorrhage with oxytocin plus methyl ergometrine versus oxytocin alone in the third stage of labour

“…The Cochrane meta analysis in 2004 concluded that the combination preparation of syntometrine as a part of the routine active management of third stage of labour is associated with a statistically significant reduction in the risk of PPH when compared to oxytocin. 8 In a similar study by Nuamsiri et al, the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage with oxytocin versus ergometrine plus oxytocin in the third stage of labour was studied and the result was similar to our study with no significant difference in the incidence of PPH. There was 1 PPH (0.6%) in the oxytocin only group and none in the combined group.…”
