Carbetocin Versus Misoprostol. A Retrospective Comparative Study

Cesarean section is one of the most common surgeries practiced for save delivery of the fetus, however it is not a safe route of delivery its incidence is rising especially in high and middle income countries. The major concern is that the average blood loss during cesarean delivery is 487 ml, this amount is too close to the definition of postpartum hemorrhage by WHO as loss of 500 cc of blood in the first 24 hours after delivery making control of blood loss during cesarean delivery crucial to decrease maternal morbidities.This study aim to compare the use of misoprostol to carbetocin in reducing blood loss during cesarean section in low risk patients
