Administering uterotonics after childbirth in cesarean section (CS) is a routine practice for preventing postpartum hemorrhage, which remains the primary cause of maternal death in Japan [1]. A recent international consensus statement on uterotonics in CS [2] published by obstetric anesthesia specialists recommended intravenous oxytocin (Online Resource 1, 2). However, Japan does not have specific guidelines on the type of uterotonic, the amount of agent to be administered, and administration route. It has been reported that the algorithm-based method of administering uterine contractions resulted in lower doses of oxytocin than the continuous intravenous method [3], suggesting the usefulness of standardization. We assumed that heterogeneous practices during CS are one of the leading causes of postpartum hemorrhage in Japan. Thus, we conducted a crosssectional study to understand the degree of diversity in the modality of uterotonic administration during CS in Japan. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Hamamatsu University School of Medicine (approval number, 22-190). In August 2019, we circulated an online questionnaire to obstetricians who were members of the Maternal Fetal Intensive Care Unit Liaison Council of Japan. The council consists of directors of the obstetrics departments of perinatal centers certified by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as facilities for parturients and neonates requiring advanced perinatal care. The survey asked participants about the standard of care in inducing uterine contractions during CS at their facilities. Each question was developed by researchers using the Delphi technique. Responses were collected directly via email and those received before October 2019 were considered valid. We ultimately obtained replies from 52 facilities, representing a response rate of 31.3%(52/166). In total, 96.2%(50/52) of facilities routinely administered uterotonics during CS, whereas 3.8%(2/52) of the facilities did not. Oxytocin was administered as a first-line uterotonic in 92.3%(48/52) of facilities, whereas 7.7%(4/52) of facilities chose methylergometrine as a first-line drug. Among facilities using oxytocin as the first-line drug, 75% administered methylergometrine as the second-line medication, 8.3% administered prostaglandin F2α, 2.1% administered prostaglandin E1, and 14.6% did not mention a specific secondline uterotonic. Oxytocin was mainly administered intravenously; however, intramyometrial (IMY) injection was a common alternative administration route (intravenous and IMY oxytocin were administered in 66.7% and 50.0% of facilities, respectively). Among all facilities, 10.5% routinely used methylergometrine during CS (Table 1). This study observed the actual practice of uterotonics in CS in tertiary perinatal centers in Japan, revealing that oxytocin is administered differently across facilities. Our finding of variability in oxytocin administration in CS is consistent with those of previous reports from other countries [4]. Of the facilities surveyed, half routinely administered oxytocin intramyometrially. Oxytocin is recommended for intravenous infusion in various guidelines. Intramuscular injection is recommended only in situations in which intravenous administration is not possible, whereas IMY injection is not mentioned in the guidelines [2]. Administering oxytocin via the IMY route requires a higher dose than the intravenous route to obtain a similar effect on uterine
