  Objective  To evaluate the safety and efficacy of using ergometrine maleate injection combined with oxytocin injection, with oxytocin injection as the control, to prevent postpartum hemorrhage after vaginal delivery.

  Methods  A total of 305 cases who underwent vaginal delivery between December 2018 and November 2019 in 16 hospitals across China were enrolled and included in the full analysis set (FAS) and the safety analysis set (SS). Among the 299 subjects who completed the trial, 277 were included in the per protocol set (PPS). The subjects were randomly assigned by 1∶1 ratio to two groups, 152 cases in Group A, the experimental group receiving oxytocin injection plus ergometrine injection, and 153 cases in Group B, the control group, receiving oxytocin injection. The difference in total bleeding volume at 2 h, 6 h and 24 h postpartum in the two groups was documented and compared. Other measures were also compared between the two groups, including the proportion of additional use of uterotonics and hemostatic drugs or other hemostatic measures 2 h and 24 h postpartum, the proportion of subjects needing blood transfusion, the time of placenta retention, proportion of subjects with prolonged hospital stay due to uterine asthenia, the vital signs, lab test indicators and the incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups.

  Results   The total bleeding volume at 2 h, 6 h and 24 h after delivery was significantly lower in the experimental group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the proportion of additional use of uterotonics and hemostatic drugs or other hemostatic measures 2 h and 24 h postpartum, the proportion of subjects needing blood transfusion and the time of placenta retention, heart rate, respiration, lab test indicators, or the incidence of adverse reaction (P>0.05).

  Conclusion  Ergometrine maleate injection showed evident therapeutic efficacy in preventing hemorrhage after vaginal delivery, causing fewer adverse reactions and ensuring greater safety, and therefore, presenting promising prospects for clinical application.
