NCT ID NCT06235749
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether giving calcium gluconate intravenously after umbilical cord clamping can reduce blood loss during elective cesarean deliveries. Calcium is essential for blood clotting and uterine muscle contraction, and low calcium levels are linked to heavier bleeding. The study will compare hemoglobin drop and bleeding complications between women who receive calcium gluconate and those who receive a placebo.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this simple, low-cost intervention could become a standard preventive measure to reduce dangerous bleeding during cesarean deliveries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial, and calcium's effect on bleeding in this setting is not yet proven. The benefit may be small or absent, and rare side effects like hypercalcemia or arrhythmia are possible.
