Abstract :

A hospital based randomized comparative study was performed in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Midnapore Medical College between January 2017 to June 2018. A total of 200 women fulfilling the inclusion criteria were recruited and were divided into two groups, each having 100 women. One group received injection oxytocin (10 units) IM and the other group received injection carboprost tromethamine (125 mcg) IM after delivery of the baby. Both the groups were comparable demographically. Mean duration of third stage of labor, mean amount of blood loss and mean haemoglobin changes and the need for additional oxytocics were significantly lower in the group receiving injection carboprost. On the other hand incidences of side effects were significantly higher in the injection carboprost group
