Umbilical cord injection may beat IV for Post-Birth bleeding
NCT ID NCT07566455
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether injecting oxytocin into the umbilical cord reduces blood loss after delivery better than the standard IV injection. Sixty women with uncomplicated pregnancies were randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers measured blood loss during and after delivery to see which approach works best for preventing postpartum hemorrhage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
oxytocin
What this could lead to
If intra-umbilical oxytocin works better, it could offer a simpler, cheaper way to prevent dangerous bleeding after childbirth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with only 60 women, so results may not apply to all births. The difference between the two methods might be small or not meaningful.
