Amr’s Maneuver and Postpartum Hemorrhage

Overview

The impacts of using Amr's manoeuvre (cervical traction) on atonic postpartum hemorrhage is a randomized controlled, multi-centre study that aims to compare the incidence of post partum hemorrhage (PPH> 500 ml blood loss) within the first 24 hours of labor after using Amr's maneuver with active management of the third stage versus active management alone

Detailed Description

Primary: Compare the incidence of post partum hemorrhage (PPH> 500 ml blood loss) within the first 24 hours of labor after using Amr's maneuver with active management of the third stage versus active management alone Secondary: Comparing: – The amount of blood loss in each arm of the study – Hematocrit before and after labor – Duration from delivery of placenta till discharge from the delivery room

Interventions

    • Active management of third stage plus Amr’s maneuver
  • No Intervention: Active management alone
    • Active management of third stage alone
