The effect of the use of oxytocin on blood loss during different postpartum periods . OBJECTIVE Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important reason for maternal mortality . In developed countries , the reason of 13 % of maternal deaths is postpartum hemorrhage while this percentage reaches more than 30 % in other countries . In this study , the effect of oxytocin use in different times at the 3rd stage of delivery on changes in the postpartum hemoglobin levels was compared . DESIGN AND SETTING In the study , 89 pregnant women to whom oxytocin was administered after placenta separation were studied in Group 1 , 89 pregnant women were included in Group 2 , and oxytocin was administered after delivery of the shoulder . The levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit before and after delivery were quantified . RESULTS The biochemical parameters were examined , there was no significant statistical differences in the levels of hemoglobin and hemotocrit before delivery between the two groups . When compared to Group 1 , Δ-hemoglobin ( P= > 0.001 ) , Δ-hematocrit ( P= > 0.001 ) , the change between the prepartum and postpartum hemoglobin percentage ( P < =0.001 ) , and change between the prepartum and postpartum hemotocrit percentage ( P < =0.001 ) were statistically lower in Group 2 . CONCLUSIONS It was determined that the use of oxytocin after shoulder delivery has more effects on decreasing the amount of postpartum hemorrhage .
