Abstract
Prevention of post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major issue due to its impact on maternal morbidity and mortality. Pharmacologic measures such as anti-fibrinolytic agents, carboprost and recombinant factor VII a have been added to the obstetricians arsenal. Mechanical measures such as non-pneumatic anti-shock garments, intrauterine balloon tamponade, vacuum-induced uterine tamponade and interventional radiological procedures have surfaced as alternatives to bimanual or aortic compression when PPH occurs.This consist of patient admitting in OBG department of Basaveshwara medical college and hospital during the period of August 2022 to August 2023. This study showed that carbetocin was as effective and safe as oxytocin for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in women undergoing cesarian section and the choice of carbetocin for routine zprophylaxis will depend on cost-effectiveness
