In an effort to study blood loss after Termination of pregnancy 190 1st trimester medical termination cases were divided into 3 groups: 1) a control group (70 patients) where no oxytocic agent was used; 2) a Syntocinon group (60 patients) where 10 units of Synotocin diluted in glucose was given; and 3) a Methergin group (60 patients) who received .2 mgm of Methyl Ergonovine. Results indicated that blood loss was twice as high in the control group as in the Methergin group. When oxytocics were used no patient had blood loss of more than 250 ml compared to 1.43% of patients in the control group who lost more than 250 ml. As gestation increased to 11-12 weeks blood loss also increased in the control group to 17 times more than at 4-6 weeks loss, 15 times more in the Syntocinon group and 11.5 times more in Ergometrine. No statistically signficant difference in amount of blood loss between the Oxytocin and Erogemetrine group could be found. However Ergometrine use increased blood pressure and vomiting.
