2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Calcium chlorideExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
1 gram of calcium chloride in total volume 60mL with sterile saline, delivered over 10 minute controlled infusion at a constant rate (360mL/hour) beginning 2 minutes after fetal delivery and 1 minute after delayed cord clamp. This intervention occurs IN ADDITION TO standard care with oxytocin 2 unit bolus and infusion at 7.5 units per hour which begins immediately after fetal delivery.
Group II: Saline placeboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
60mL sterile saline, delivered over 10 minute controlled infusion at a constant rate (360mL/hour) beginning 2 minutes after fetal delivery and 1 minute after delayed cord clamp. This intervention occurs IN ADDITION TO standard care with oxytocin 2 unit bolus and infusion at 7.5 units per hour which begins immediately after fetal delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Could you please share how many people are involved in this research project?

"As of right now, this clinical trial is not looking for any more patients. This information was taken from the date that the trial was first posted (1/1/2023) and when it was last edited (2/4/2022). However, there are currently 416 trials actively recruiting patients with postpartum hemorrhage and 13 studies seeking participants for Calcium chloride research."

Answered by AI

How can I become a part of this experiment?

"Women who have recently given birth and are between 18-55 years old may be accepted into this study on postpartum hemorrhage. A total of 120 patients will be enrolled."

Answered by AI

For what sorts of medical conditions is calcium chloride regularly employed?

"More often than not, calcium chloride is used to treat kidney failure that has come on suddenly. That being said, it can also be an effective way to manage other conditions like calcium channel blockers, diarrhea, and beta blocker overdoses."

Answered by AI

What other research studies have used Calcium chloride as a treatment?

"There are currently 13 active clinical trials investigating the use of calcium chloride, with 3 of those trials in Phase 3. Most of the studies for calcium chloride are being conducted out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but there are 17 total locations where studies are taking place."

Answered by AI

Are the subjects of this research project restricted to a certain age group?

"Individuals who are between 18-55 years old may participate in this clinical trial."

Answered by AI

Are participants being enrolled in this experiment right now?

"This study is no longer looking for participants. Trial information indicates that the first posting was on 1/1/2023 and the last update occurred on 2/4/2022. There are other options available, including 416 clinical trials searching for patients with postpartum hemorrhage and 13 studies involving calcium chloride currently enrolling new participants."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA cleared calcium chloride for use?

"There is some clinical data that supports the efficacy of calcium chloride, and it has received multiple rounds of support for safety, so we have given it a score of 3."
