The difference between carbooxytocin and ordinary oxytocin

"They are all the same type of drugs, although oxytocin is present, but the composition is somewhat different. Carbel is a synthetic hormone that has a longer action time than oxytocin.". And carbetocin only works during pregnancy. The role of oxytocin is to act on the oxytocin receptor on the uterus to promote uterine contraction, which can play a role in inducing and inducing labor. There are several situations where oxytocin is used during pregnancy and childbirth. For pregnant women whose pregnancy has reached or exceeded the expected delivery period, and still do not naturally initiate labor, oxytocin can be administered for labor induction and induction.
In the process of natural childbirth, which is during the labor process, uterine atony may lead to uneven labor progress, which can be accelerated by oxytocin. Due to poor uterine contraction after childbirth, postpartum hemorrhage can occur. In postpartum women, oxytocin is also given to promote uterine contraction, help stop bleeding in the blood sinuses of the placental exfoliation surface, and exert a hemostatic effect on the broken ends of the compressed blood vessels of the uterine muscle layer.
The effect of carbetocin is actually similar to that of ordinary oxytocin, mainly preventing uterine contraction and fatigue, promoting uterine contraction, thereby accelerating uterine involution, and can also be used for hemostatic treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Due to its ability to bind to oxytocin receptors in the smooth muscle of the uterus, it can cause rhythmic contraction of the uterus and increase the frequency and tension of uterine contraction. Therefore, for women undergoing cesarean section, if uterine atony occurs during the operation, it is often necessary to intramuscularly inject carbetocin.
When should I take oxytocin
Oxytocin is generally used to promote uterine contraction after childbirth, abortion, or induced labor. It is also a hemostatic drug. At this time, after using Oxytocin, there may be slight lower abdominal pain, but it is not very serious. If it is used for induction of labor, that is, if the uterus is contracting weakly, or if there is no labor after the due date exceeds one week. In cases of induced labor, induced labor, postpartum hemorrhage, or uterine bleeding caused by uterine weakness or poor contractions after abortion, oxytocin injection is required. In addition, to understand the placental reserve function (oxytocin provocation test), oxytocin injection can also be used. "Oxytocin injection should not be used in cases where the pelvis is too narrow, the birth canal is obstructed, significant cephalopelvic disproportion, and abnormal fetal position occur, there is a history of caesarean section, a history of myomectomy, and the presence or prolapse of the umbilical cord, placenta previa, fetal distress, hypercontractions, uterine atony, long-term medication failure, prenatal bleeding (including placental abruption), multiple pregnancies, uterine hypertrophy (including polyhydramnios)," Severe pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome.
