Popis: OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of preoperative rectal misoprostol for the prevention of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss in women undergoing elective cesarean delivery. METHODS A single-blind randomized controlled trial of 200 full-term pregnant women scheduled for elective cesarean delivery. Computer-generated randomization allocated women to receive 400 μg rectal misoprostol at urinary catheter insertion plus 400 μg rectally after abdominal closure (preoperative group, n=100) or 800 μg of rectal misoprostol after abdominal closure (postoperative group, n=100). Primary outcome was intraoperative blood loss. RESULTS Intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the preoperative misoprostol group compared with the postoperative group (528.7 ± 114.8 mL vs 788.6 ± 165.8 mL; P
