Brief Summary: Previous research has confirmed that hemorrhage is among the most commonly encountered pregnancy complications in the Tibet Autonomous Region TAR This trial will test the effectiveness of a traditional Tibetan drug Zhi Byed 11 vs misoprostol to prevent postpartum hemorrhage PPH among women delivering vaginally in three hospitals in Lhasa TAR
Detailed Description: Post-partum hemorrhage PPH is one of the main direct causes of maternal mortality particularly in rural areas with low access to skilled providers blood banks and surgical facilities In addition to the mortality PPH also accounts for a great number of morbidities including anemia renal and pulmonary problems fatigue and decreased resistance to infection all major health problems affecting women in the TAR Clinical research is rare in the Tibetan Autonomous Region TAR of the Peoples Republic of China This trial will estimate the effect of prophylactic oral ZB 11 administered at the beginning of the second stage of labor versus prophylactic oral misoprostol administered in the third stage of labor in reducing the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage defined as a measured blood loss of 500 cc

An observational postpartum blood measurement study was conducted This included data collection on deliveries in three TAR hospital in Lhasa piloting of consent forms and data collection instruments and training in the use of a plastic drape for the measurement of postpartum blood loss

This randomized double masked trial will test the hypothesis that misoprostol is more effective than ZB11 in reducing the frequency of postpartum hemorrhage defined as either a measured blood loss of 500cc or administration of open label uterotonics within the one hour observation period after delivery

An original sample of 848 women was increased and 967 consenting women were randomized 11 to a ZB11 or misoprostol arm Since ZB 11 and misoprostol must be administered at different times participants will receive either active ZB 11 or corresponding placebo at full dilation and active misoprostol or corresponding placebo immediately following the birth of the baby The effectiveness of the study drug will be estimated by the postpartum blood loss that will be measured on all enrolled women with a blood collection drape
