“Pharmacokinetics of Oxytocin at Cesarean Delivery”
The primary objective is to obtain data to inform the design of a population pharmacokinetic study of oxytocin after administration at CD as per standard institutional practice.
Drug - oxytocin
PK measurements of oxytocin
Device - Shore durometer
The investigators will take serial readings from a digital durometer at the uterine fundus at 3, 6, 9 and 12 minutes following OXT administration to provide data that will inform an estimate of the timing of peak effect. Shore durometers measure the hardness of materials on a scale of 0-100 Shore Units (SU). Preliminary (unpublished) data provided a range of 10-56 SU after oxytocin administration at cesarean delivery. Durometer readings were also shown to correlate positively with the obstetrici ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
