Protocol summary

Study aim
A comparative study of carbetocin versus oxytocin in the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in patients undergoing cesarean section.
Design
The double-blind clinical trial has a control group of 500 patients who are candidates for elective caesarean section, and the patients are entered into two study groups in parallel using simple randomization. Phase 2-3 is a trial.
Settings and conduct
The number of 500 patients was randomly divided 1:1 into two groups (control and intervention groups). The method of assigning people to study groups will be simple randomization. The study is double-blind - from the point of view of the evaluator and the patient, but not blind from the point of view of the study administrator. Place of study Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex (RA), Yas Hospital Complex
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients who are candidates for elective cesarean section who will undergo spinal anesthesia and have signed written informed consent also: Absence of severe underlying disease (heart-liver-kidney-pulmonary) and mental disabilities.Cesarean section not due to placenta accreta and previa. Exclusion criteria: Patients in whom we have to perform general anesthesia for any reason. Postpartum bleeding for a reason other than uterine atony
Intervention groups
Intervention group: After the removal of the placenta, 100 micrograms of intravenous carbetocin ampoule is administered. Control group: After the placenta is removed, 5 units of oxytocin are injected intravenously. Next, 20 units of intravenous oxytocin are administered as an infusion in one liter of Linger lactate serum or 0.9% normal saline during 2 hours when the patient is in the operating room and recovery, and then another 20 units of oxytocin are administered during 8 hours.
Main outcome variables

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Allocation of patients into intervention and control groups will be done randomly with a ratio of 1:1 and using the blocking method. Bi-allelic blocks of size 4 will be used for this purpose. AABB, ABAB, BBAA, BABA,.... We determine the sequence through the following site: Sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomizer/v1/lists. This program can generate random numbers and assign participants to groups based on a defined random sequence.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
We allocate the participants between two study groups A and B based on a defined random sequence. The method of random allocation will be explained to the patients, but the patient does not know which treatment group he is in. The study is double-blind - from the point of view of the evaluator and the patient, but not from the point of view of the main study administrator.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Before the surgery and in order to minimize the drop in blood pressure caused by the spinal anesthesia method, 500 cc of normal saline 0.9% or Ringer's serum is infused for all patients. The blood pressure and heart rate of the patients are checked and recorded before the injection of the drug, and after the removal of the placenta in the intervention group, 100 micrograms/ampoule of carbetocin is injected intravenously, and then after the administration of the drugs, every 5 minutes up to two times and then every 15 minutes until two times. Then, every 30 minutes to two hours, the blood pressure and heart rate of the patients are checked and recorded. The blood pressure and heart rate check is done automatically by the automatic pulse oximetry device, and finally, the registered symptoms are entered by the anesthesia and recovery technician in the patient's information and data collection forms.
