Abstract This is a comparative prospective study which was conducted in Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital during the period from July 2012 till April 2013. The aim of the present study was to assess the individual and specific role of CCT as a part of ATMSL for preventing PPH. Three hundred women delivered vaginally were included in this study, revised according to the mentioned inclusion and exclusion criteria. Women were randomized into 2 groups; Group І (Simplified AMTSL package) 150 women: controlled cord traction was omitted (Not done). Group ІІ (Full AMTSL package) 150 women: Controlled cord traction was done. Both groups received oxytocin 10 IU IM with delivery of the anterior shoulder of the baby or immediately after delivery of the baby and the umbilical cord was clamped and cut (once pulsation stopped or after 3 minutes in a healthy newborn). In group I (Hands-Off Group), the placenta was delivered by maternal efforts only with aid of the gravity while in group II (CCT Group) the placenta was delivered by CCT. |
