Thanks so much for this Bruce—I had completely missed the fact that oxytocin was still clearly better—our faciities which deliver babies (apart from one) have fridges and already use that, although we don’t have standard practice of using it for every delivery which we should! (We use for most). I know that’s a bad miss by me.
So it seems like if you have a fridge—Oxytocin (it’s cheap anyway), and if not misoprostol.
Thanks so much again. In my defence I would have talked to the midwives and would have read guidelines before making that mistake anyway.
