Scenarios 2 & 3: Misoprostol for PPH Treatment: Overview of Two Gynuity Non-Inferiority Trials
Purpose: To determine if 800 mcg sublingual misoprostol is similarly efficacious to 40 IU oxytocin delivered IV for the treatment of primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)
Double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials in 5 countries (two settings): where women given oxytocin in third stage of labor where women not given oxytocin in third stage of labor

Side Effects
With oxytocin prophylaxis: all minimal, no differences between 2 treatments with exception of fever & shivering With no oxytocin prophylaxis: all minimal, vomiting significantly more common with misoprostol, fever & shivering also more common with misoprostol

Oxytocin Prophylaxis
No Prophylaxis
IV oxytocin + 600 mcg sublingual misoprostol over IV oxytocin alone for treatment of PPH
Significantly more fever in misoprostol arm
Implication of results: No reason to combine the two drugs as there is no added benefit, but more side effects
IMPLICATIONS
PROPHYLACTIC OXYTOCIN GIVEN Immediate Treatment of PPH IV OXYTOCIN FEASIBLE IV OXYTOCIN NOT FEASIBLE Either Drug Misoprostol Oxytocin Preferred Misoprostol NO PROPHYLACTIC OXYTOCIN GIVEN

Unanswered questions:
What is the impact of these strategies? Do they save lives? Program effectiveness of: misoprostol vs. oxytocin in Uniject outside of tertiary hospitals? misoprostol for PPH treatment at lower level facilities/ lower level providers? misoprostol when used for both prevention and treatment?
No prophylaxis
