The Effect of Oxytocin Drip During Hysteroscopy on Operative Blood Loss and Fluid Overload

  Current study was conducted to determine the effects of Oxytocin drip on operative blood loss and fluid overload during hysteroscopy.

  In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, 54 women with abnormal uterine bleeding who were candidates for hysteroscopy were consecutively enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either oxytocin or normal saline and the alterations in serum hemoglobin, sodium, albumin, and hematocrit were compared between two groups.

  The results demonstrated that alterations in serum hemoglobin, sodium, albumin, and hematocrit did not significantly differ between the two groups (P>0.05).

  It seems using oxytocin drip during hysteroscopy in patients with intrauterine lesions would have no effect on operative blood loss and fluid overload.
