Carbetocin Versus Oxytocin at Elective Caesarean Delivery: A Double-blind, Randomized, Controlled, Noninferiority Trial of Low-dose and High-dose Regimens

( Anaesthesia. 2022;77:892–900) Oxytocin and carbetocin are both uterotonics, and are recommended for prophylactically combatting postpartum uterine atony. They are currently used at high doses but some advocate for lower doses that would carry less risk for adverse effects. This double-blind, randomized, controlled non-inferiority study compared carbetocin and oxytocin at low and high doses during elective cesarean delivery (CD).
