Compare Hemodynamic Effect of Oxytocin Bolus and Infusion During Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia

Summary

Oxytocin is routinely used during a cesarean section to promote uterine contraction and prevent postpartum hemorrhage. It is typically administered immediately after delivery of the baby, either as a slow intravenous bolus followed by a continuous infusion or as an infusion alone, depending on clinical protocols. By stimulating the uterine muscles to contract, oxytocin helps reduce blood loss and facilitates uterine involution. Care is taken to avoid rapid high-dose administration, as this may lead to side effects such as hypotension and tachycardia
