Help!! I am struggling with this PICOT question and want to do it on postpartum hemorrhage. Does this sound acceptable?

In postpartum patients during the immediate postpartum period, is continuing IV pitocin for a period of 4 hours vs only giving an immediate pitocin bolus, more effective in decreasing postpartum hemorrhage?

I feel like its too wordy, and actually isnt measurable. I really wanted to do it on something with pictocin and the labor process, but not struggling to find articles as well. Anyone have any help they could offer? Thanks so much!!!

I'm in the intro to research class right now too! Maybe use a specific amount of pitocin that way it can be measurable.

During the immediate postpartum period will continuing xxxml/hr or [xxx mg] iv pitocin for 4 hours in postpartum patients decrease hemorrhage compared to a bolus dose of xxx in the immediate postpartum period?

P: postpartum patients

I: continuous pitocin

C:bolus

O: decreased hemorrhage
