Abstract
Postpartum hemorrhage still remains a leading cause of maternal death worldwide, especially in developing countries.The amount of bleeding after childbirth depends on the delivery type, as it is 500 and 1000cc in average for the normal vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery, respectively.Regarding the complications and necessary considerations in aroutine infusion of oxytocin after delivery, the aim of this study was to compare the effects of sublingual misoprostol with oxytocin infusion.Controlling the bleeding after acesarean can be introduced as a substitute for oxytocin, as it has similar effects and fewer side effects.This clinical trial was conducted in Ali ibn AbiTalib hospital, Zahedan,Iran during 2013 on pregnant women candidate for cesarean section (C-section).The sample size was 60 pregnant women in C-section out of which 30were in sublingual misoprostol group and the rest 30 in intravenous oxytocin group.Hemoglobin decrease and other side effects were studied in two groups.All study data were analyzed in SPSS 18 software using a chi-square (χ2)test.The results showed that hemoglobin decrease in sublingual misoprostol group was significantly is less compared to that inoxytocin group. Moreover, frequentside effects wereseen in the misoprostol group; however, they were transient, reversible, and with a statistically insignificant incidence (p>0.05).According to the results obtained from this study, the use of sublingual misoprostol is suggested as a good alternative to intravenous oxytocin to reduce postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean delivery.
