Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyCarbetocin versus intra-umbilical oxytocin in the management of retained placenta: a randomized clinical study.
This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic profile and efficacy of carbetocin versus intra-umbilical oxytocin in the management of retained placenta following vaginal delivery. ⋯ A single i.v. bolus of carbetocin and umbilical vein injection of 50 IU oxytocin are similarly effective in reducing the need for manual removal of the placenta. Carbetocin seems to have an acceptable hemodynamic safety profile and can be used as an alternative choice to the conventional oxytocic agents in the management of retained placenta.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of tissue adequacy for histologic examination from Ipas MVA plus and Wallach Endocell in women with abnormal uterine bleeding.
The aim of this study was to compare endometrial tissue adequacy sampling by Wallach Endocell and manual vacuum aspiration (Ipas MVA plus) in women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Pain and immediate complications from each method were also compared. ⋯ MVA was comparable to Endocell in terms of tissue adequacy. Moderate to severe pain was experienced significantly more in the MVA group; however, the requirement of pain treatment was not significantly different between the groups.
