The injectable iron and blood transfusion were the experiments given to the pregnant women around 24-28 weeks.The effect of the experiment along with other factors were assessed over the change of Hb level from 24-28 weeks to 36 weeks.Results: Only iron injection singly significantly improved Hb level (1.4 mg/ dl, p<0.001) though it improved a little in combination with blood transfusion (0.472 mg/ dl, p=0.15) too, but blood alone was associated w...

Methods: This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from April 2005 to December 2005. Age and parity matched 80 pregnant women were recruited in the study and were divided equally in experimental and palcebo groups (40 in each group). The Experimental group received intramuscular Inj. Pethidine HCI 1.5 mg/kg body weight in 2 ml with Inj. metoclopramide 12.5 mg and the Placebo group received 2 ml intramuscular normal saline. The intervention was started at active first stage of labor with cervical dilatation of 3-4 cm and when patients requested for analgesia. Pain was assessed at the highest point of pain at 15- and 30-minute intervals using 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) and patients were asked to give a verbal categorical rating of their pain as "a lot better&qu...
