"Many researchers have attempted to investigate the difference between the oxytocin system in females versus males, but no one has successfully found conclusive evidence until now.
My call for leaders is to find more creative ways, aside from the usual team-building activities, to produce more oxytocin within each employee.
In the meta-analysis, about 6,000 vaginal deliveries were analyzed, with no significant differences for misoprostol plus oxytocin versus oxytocin alone found for the following outcomes: maternal death, intensive care unit admissions, and rate of blood loss [greater than or equal to] 1,000 mL (1.7% for both uterotonics vs 2.2% for oxytocin alone).
Conclusion: It is concluded that oxytocin (5IU) once administered as an infusion during elective caesarean section causes less haemodynamic changes.
It is well known that oxytocin produces uterine activity when administered to pregnant women.
"Heat-stable carbetocin was non-inferior to oxytocin for the prevention of blood loss of at least 500 ml or the use of additional uterotonic agents," the authors write.
class="MsoNormalHowever, oxytocin must be stored and transported at two to eight degree Celsius, which is very hard to do in many countries, hence depriving women of access to this life-saving drug.
The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday, found that carbetocin - a heat-stable drug - is as safe and effective as oxytocin in preventing postpartum bleeding.
Heat-stable carbetocin, an oxytocin analogue, does not require refrigeration and research published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that it is as safe and effective as oxytocin in preventing postpartum haemorrhage.
