TY - GEN AB - The purpose of this program of research is to examine the physiologic role of the neuropeptide and hormone, oxytocin, and the use of pharmaceutical oxytocin administration during childbirth, on outcomes relevant to childbearing women. These outcomes include postpartum hemorrhage and breastfeeding/ lactation, both of which involve oxytocin function. Through a series of studies and manuscripts, the aims of this work are to 1) investigate the premise for clinical oxytocin use in postpartum hemorrhage prevention, specifically in lower-risk populations, and 2) assess downstream effects of oxytocin use during labor and birth on lactation hormones and breastfeeding outcomes AD - Oregon Health and Science University AU - Erickson, Elise DA - 2018-06-01 DO - 10.6083/GJ0W18 DO - DOI ID - 3105 KW - Pharmaceutical Preparations KW - Neuropeptides KW - Lactation KW - Breast Feeding KW - Postpartum Hemorrhage KW - Oxytocin KW - Pregnancy L1 - https://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/3105/files/4064_etd.pdf L2 - https://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/3105/files/4064_etd.pdf L4 - https://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/3105/files/4064_etd.pdf LK - https://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/3105/files/4064_etd.pdf N2 - The purpose of this program of research is to examine the physiologic role of the neuropeptide and hormone, oxytocin, and the use of pharmaceutical oxytocin administration during childbirth, on outcomes relevant to childbearing women.
