Abstract
This study investigates the efficacy of umbilical oxytocin injection in managing retained placenta, a condition posing risks to maternal well-being. Oxytocin's pharmacology, including its mechanism of action and administration routes, is explored, highlighting its role in stimulating uterine contractions and placental expulsion. Evidence from studies supports oxytocin's effectiveness and safety in treating retained placenta. Implications for midwives' practice are discussed, emphasizing the importance of timely recognition, proper administration, and close monitoring during oxytocin use. Midwives' involvement in educating women, collaborating with healthcare teams, and ensuring comprehensive care underscores their vital role in managing retained placenta and promoting positive birth outcomes.
