Injecting hemabate at different times for preventing postpartum hemorrhage

Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical value of injecting hemabate at different times for preventing postpartum hemorrhage. Methods One hundred and five pregnant women who were in parturition and might have bleeding tendency were selected. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to different injection times. The control group were routinely treated with 20 U oxytocin; the early group were intravenously dripped 20 U oxytocin and took hemabate immediately after delivery; the late group were intravenously dripped 20 U oxytocin immediately after delivery and took hemabate when the bleeding volume was over 300 ml. The postpartum hemorrhage and the monitoring indicators were compared and analyzed. Results The bleeding volume and the level of hemoglobin 24 h after delivery were lower and the third stage of labor was shorter in the early group than in the late group [(289.2 ± 24.3) ml vs. (435.3 ± 31.9) ml, (10.23 ± 1.02) g/dL vs. (11.62 ± 1.06) g/dL, and (7.73 ± 2.16) min vs. (9.13 ± 2.56) min] in the observation group (P <0.05). Conclusions Using hemabate immediately after delivery for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage is quite effective, so it is worth being clinically applied.
