ABSTRACT

Aims and Objectives:- To study the effects of valenthemate bromide injection by different routes on uterine contraction, time spent in third stage of labor and blood loss during vaginal delivery in primaigravida. Material and Methods:- Study was carried out on pregnant ladies (without any complications) admitted for delivery in department of Gynecology B. R. D. Medical College Gorakhpur. The ladies were divided in to three groups. Group A received saline, group B received epidosin intramuscularly while group III received epidosin intravenously and uterine contraction, duration of third stage of labour and blodd loss during vaginal delivery in primigravida was noted. Results:- The difference in duration of third stage of labour was not significant statistically in all the three groups. Mean rate of cervical dilatation was 0.91, 1.48, 2.16 cm/hour in groups I, II, and III respectively. There was no significant adverse finding including blood loss. Conclusion:- The mean duration of third stage of labour is not altered significantly by injection of epidosin.
