Dr. Kavita Yadav, Dr. Dolly Chawla, Dr Arpana Singhal

Abstract :

 A) Purpose– To evaluate and compare two methods of placental delivery i.e. (A) Controlled cord traction 

& (B) Manual removal of placenta, at the time of cesarean section.
B) Methods– Prospective randomized study was conducted from Feuary 2010 to June 2011, on 200 pregnant women 
undergoing emergency or elective cesarean delivery at term in Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, Delhi. Intraoperative blood loss, pre & postoperative hemoglobin, endometritis and intraoperative blood splashes noted.
C) Results– Mean blood loss in GroupI was 705.14+73.65 ml while mean blood loss in GroupII was 803.97+112.69 ml. 
There was increased incidence of endometriosis in GroupII.
D) Conclusions– In present study controlled cord traction was found to be a more safe method in relation to intraoperative blood loss which was significantly lower than manual removal of placenta. There was significantly less incidence 
of Endometritis and postoperative decrease in hemoglobin, in GroupI as compared to GroupII.
