Summary
This study tested whether giving an extra dose of oxytocin directly into the umbilical vein, along with standard care, could reduce blood loss after childbirth. Over 400 women having a vaginal delivery took part. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost method could help prevent postpartum hemorrhage, a leading cause of maternal death.
