Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Calcium chlorideExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
1 gram of calcium chloride in total volume 60mL with sterile saline, delivered over 10 minute controlled infusion at a constant rate (360mL/hour) beginning 2 minutes after fetal delivery and 1 minute after delayed cord clamp. This intervention occurs IN ADDITION TO standard care with oxytocin 2 unit bolus and infusion at 7.5 units per hour which begins immediately after fetal delivery.
Group II: Saline placeboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
60mL sterile saline, delivered over 10 minute controlled infusion at a constant rate (360mL/hour) beginning 2 minutes after fetal delivery and 1 minute after delayed cord clamp.
