Why the study?
Does a 10-unit intravenous bolus of oxytocin compared to a 5-unit bolus increase the occurrence of ST segment depression in healthy women undergoing elective caesarean section?
Does a 10-unit intravenous bolus of oxytocin compared to a 5-unit bolus increase the occurrence of ST segment depression in healthy women undergoing elective caesarean section?
A lower intravenous bolus dose of oxytocin (5 units vs 10 units) during caesarean section significantly reduces the occurrence of ST segment depression and hypotension.
