Experts Cite Multiple Factors in Rajasthan Maternal Deaths Beyond Oxytocin Use
Experts examining maternal deaths following C-sections in Rajasthan's Kota, Bikaner, and Jodhpur suggest that while substandard oxytocin use has been a focus, other factors like severe bleeding, sepsis, hypertension, and preeclampsia may have contributed. Specialists note that oxytocin is not always necessary, and complications such as sudden high blood pressure can lead to organ failure if not managed promptly. Regular prenatal monitoring is emphasized to identify high-risk pregnancies.
