Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate in a randomized fashion the comparative efficacy of two
second-line medications, methylergonovine and carboprost for treating atonic postpartum
hemorrhage (PPH). The investigators hypothesize that administration of methylergonovine will
produce superior uterine tone to carboprost in atonic PPH.
