ABSTRACT
A total of 358 high-risk pregnant women were divided randomly into observation (A) and control (B) groups.Group A:15ml 10％ calcium gluconate was injected intravenously during the second stage of labor at full dilatation.And 10 U oxytocin was injected intramuscularly upon an immediate delivery of fetal anterior shoulder.Then 400 μg misoprostol was inserted into anus at 5 cm; Group B:10 U oxytocin was injected intramuscularly upon an immediate delivery of fetal anterior shoulder.Then 400 μg misoprostol was inserted into anus at 5 cm.Statistically significant differences existed in the amount of bleeding loss after delivery for 2 h and 24 h (P ＜ 0.01),the time limit of the third labor (P ＜ 0.01) and the occurrence rate of postpartum hemorrhage (P ＜ 0.01).No significant difference existed between two groups in the Apgar score of the first minute (P ＞ 0.05).An intravenous infusion of calcium gluconate plus oxytocin and misoprostol after birth could reduce the rate of postpartum hemorrhage.Worthy of clinical application,this method has no effect upon Apgar score.
