bradycardia, nausea, tachycardia, blood loss, chest pain, hypotension, shivering
BLOOD LOSS, SECONDARY, HYPERTENSION
The primary outcome of the current study was the adequacy of UT during the study period. The UT was ranked as most satisfied (touched as forehead), satisfied (touched as tip of nose), dissatisfied (touched as lip), and assessed by the obstetrician, who did not aware of patients’ group, at 5-min intervals till to close the peritoneum. Most satisfied and satisfied UT were regarded as adequate UT, dissatisfied UT was regarded as inadequate UT. The secondary outcomes were the proportion of patients who needed additional oxytocin bolus and second-line uterotonics, side effects after administration of oxytocin (including hypertension, hypotension, tachycardia, bradycardia, nausea, flushing, chest pain, and shivering), the estimated blood loss (EBL, estimated by visual assessment of suction bottles and drapes), and neonatal outcomes. Demographic characteristics (such as age, height, weight, and gestational age), surgery time, cesarean history, and volume of intravenous crystalloid were also recorded.
