Oxytocin Infusion and Abdominal Myomectomy

Objective:To compare oxytocin infusion with control, in patients undergoing abdominal myomectomy in terms of mean blood loss.

Design: Single blinded randomized control trial Setting: Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Population: 60 women of ASA class I-II, with intramural fibroids, candidate for elective abdominal myomectomy.

Methods: Women were divided into two groups randomly. In the study group 30 Units of oxytocin in 1000 ml normal saline were given during surgery, at the rate of 15units/hour. In control group, pure normal saline was given.

Main outcome measure: Intra-operative blood loss
