Name Time Method To compare the effect of intravenous calcium administration on uterine tone which will be asssessed by the obstetrician based on numerical scale score (0-completely atonic 10-fully contracted)among women undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 0,5,10,15,20 mins ater clamping of cord
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the intraoperative blood loss, need for additional uterotonic requirements(methylergometrine, prostaglandin F2a, Prostagalndin E1 etc),mechanical surgical interventions (uterine balloon, B-lynch sutures etc), total fluid, vasopressors,total oxytocin bolus, transfusion requirements between the two groups. <br/ ><br> <br/ ><br>Timepoint: At the end of surgery
