Abstract
Carbetocin is effective in reducing the use of additional uterotonics, reduction in postpartum hemorrhage and transfusion when used during cesarean deliveries. However, despite the potential benefits illustrated in this meta-analysis, the disparity between the cost of carbetocin and oxytocin suggests that locoregional cost-effectiveness analysis should be performed before any decision is made to adopt it for routine prophylaxis.
