Use of Methergine for the Prevention of Postoperative Endometritis in Non-Elective Cesarean Section Patients

Abstract

Objective: Methergine increases constriction of uterine musculature which may facilitate sloughing of endometrial debris, close uterine vessels, and prevent post-cesarean endometritis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of methergine in preventing endometritis in patients undergoing non-elective cesarean section delivery.
