Not sure, we too have the synto out at least an
hour or two before birth. We have stopped drawing up the synto until
after the birth ( not what you were asking I know) ever since synto
was given accidently at a Victorian hospital prior to a baby's birth with
terrible consequences.

question
A few years ago a batch of synto was recalled as it had been
found less effective than normal, so I suppose the same thing would have
happened there, CCT without proper active management drugs leading to more
PPHs. Not sure about the out of fridge times tho.

Just a quick question.... does anyone know how long Syntocinon can be
out of refrigeration before it starts loosing its effectiveness? Where
I am working at the moment there are an amazing number of PPH's, and also
the common practice of drawing up the synto and having it ready often hours
before the birth.
Aside from all the other medical intervention which would
contribute to PPH, if controlled cord traction is started after a dose of
ineffective synto, it's probably contributing to the PPH's.
