Study summary
To demonstrate that the combined used of oxytocin and misoprostol prevent from post partum haemorrhage better than oxytocin alone, following vaginal birth at 36 to 42 weeks.
Objective : To demonstrate that the combined used of oxytocin and misoprostol prevent from post partum haemorrhage better than oxytocin alone, following vaginal birth at 36 to 42 weeks'. Method : Double blinded Randomized controlled trial in two centers over 30 months. Treatment : Patients will be randomly allocated into one of the two following group : Group A : 10 UI of oxytocin IV during delivery of the anterior shoulder of the newborn and two misoprostol tablets taken orally (400µg) following cord clamp. Group B: 10 UI of oxytocin IV during delivery of the anterior shoulder of the newborn and two placebo tablets taken orally following cord clamp. Number of patients: 1550 patients per group (one third reduction of occurrence with alpha and beta set at 0.05 and 0.20 respectively). Patients were included in the study during 48 hours.
