Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to specifically investigate whether oxytocin and mechanical dilation decreases the rate of cesarean section compared to misoprostol and mechanical dilation for pregnancies at risk of fetal compromise

Description:

This is a single center randomized control trial of two arms. Singleton, cephalic, high risk pregnancies will be randomized to either oxytocin with mechanical dilation versus misoprostol with mechanical dilation.

In group A, receiving misoprostol with mechanical dilation, will serve as the control group. Group B, oxytocin with mechanical dilation, will serve as the experimental group. The expected duration of participation begins at induction of labor and concludes at time of delivery.
