Postpartum Hemorrhage Clinical Trials

To determine the effectiveness of using two medications simultaneously versus one medication, as is standard of care, in preventing early postpartum hemorrhage. There have been studies that looked at giving two medications and that there were reduced odds of postpartum hemorrhage. Specific Aim 1: Determine if double simultaneous uterotonic agent regimen (misoprostol and oxytocin) is superior to single agent (oxytocin only) in reducing postpartum hemorrhage. Specific Aim 2: Determine any potential side effects of a double simultaneous uterotonic agentregimen (misoprostol and oxytocin) versus a single agent (oxytocin only). Read Less

This is a prospective, single-center, randomized control study to determine if video education at the time of postpartum discharge improves patient knowledge on the warning signs for the top three causes of severe maternal morbidity (infection, hemorrhage, and blood pressure disorders) in the first seven days following delivery for self-identified, Black, Latinx, other with two or more self-identified races, Medicaid, and/or uninsured postpartum individuals. Participants will be randomized to written discharge education + video education (intervention) vs standard discharge education (control). They will complete a baseline questionnaire and a post-discharge education questionnaire during their postpartum stay to assess for knowledge improvement. The investigators hypothesize that video education will improve patient's knowledge of severe maternal morbidity warning signs. Read Less
