To study role of Uterotonics in PPH: Oxytocin, Misoprostol, Ergometrine, Carboprost

Abstract

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Uterotonics play a pivotal role in both prevention and management of PPH by enhancing uterine contractility. Commonly used agents include oxytocin, misoprostol, ergometrine, and carboprost, each with distinct pharmacological profiles.
