Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialManagement of the third stage of labour in women at low risk of postpartum haemorrhage.
To compare active management with physiological management of the third stage of labour in women at low risk of postpartum haemorrhage. ⋯ This preliminary study confirms that active management results in a reduction in the length of the third stage of labour. However, it suggests that active management does not reduce blood loss when compared to physiological management in the woman at low risk of postpartum haemorrhage.
