I know that in the context of American hospital births (immediate
seperation of baby from mother for at least a few minutes, and often
hours), giving oxytocic medications after the birth of the second
shoulder to contract the uterus to reduce PPH is "evidence based
medicine".   When the need of infants to be skin to skin with mom
immediately for healthy transition is recognized, and immediate skin to
skin is widespread, this will become less often necessary.
