Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effectiveness of a modified "rule of threes" oxytocin protocol compared to a free-flow continuous infusion after cesarean deliveries, focusing on secondary uterotonic use.
- The results showed that patients in the protocol group had a higher likelihood of receiving secondary uterotonic drugs, though they also experienced less need for blood transfusions.
- Overall, while the protocol group had increased secondary drug use, their estimated blood loss was significantly lower, showing mixed outcomes regarding safety and efficacy.
