Filter by:DILAPAN-S® was FDA-approved for pre-induction cervical ripening in 2015. Since that time, there have been limited studies comparing its efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction to other mechanical cervical ripening techniques. The purpose of this trial is to perform a noninferiority randomized clinical trial comparing DILAPAN-S® to the Foley catheter for outpatient cervical ripening in term elective labor inductions, examining time spent on the labor and delivery unit, patient safety, and patient satisfaction feedback.
A total of 60 parturients undergoing induction of labour will be consented to participate in the study where they will be randomized to receive either spinal fentanyl (20 µg) or epidural analgesia (fentanyl 100µg and lidocaine 80 mg). They will be monitored for the development of analgesia for a duration of 30 minutes.
Multicentre, pragmatic, parallel group, pilot randomised controlled trial with an embedded factorial design.
The study will compare 2 treatment modalities. One group will receive the routine protocol of intermittent pitocin induction for 6 hours and the second group will receive continous pitocin infusion for 16 hours. The primary aim is to observe which protocol leads to the fastest delivery and evaluate the time in each group from induction to delivery.
The goal of this study is to see if there is a better way to induce labor.
The worldwide rate of induction of labour has been steadily increasing over the last 15 years, a trend that is reflected in Norway. The overall aim of this study is to identify disparities between delivery departments in Norway in regards to: 1. The overall rate of labour induction 2. Main indication for the induction of labour. 3. Induction methods used and protocols followed 4. Maternal and fetal outcomes in induced births Methods: Observational study. Registration of induction indication, methods and outcomes in induced women. Data will be collected prospectively during a period of 4 months from 21 Norwegian delivery units using a web-based standardized case record form.
To compare the efficacy and safety of cervical ripening with transcervical Foley catheter in inpatient vs outpatient setting
The purpose of this study is to find out if Dilapan works as well as Misoprostol for preparing the mouth of the uterus (cervix) for inducing labor in women who need to undergo this procedure. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of Dilapan for cervical ripening compared to Misoprostol in women undergoing Induction of labor (IOL) at or more than 37 weeks gestation.
Seventy ladies indicated for induction of delivery will be recruited. Two ways of assessment of their cervices will be done before actual induction of labor. First, ultrasound will be done to assess the angle and the length of the cervix. Then vaginal examination will be done to assess the characteristics of cervix. Analysis will be done to identify the best predictor of successful induction of labour.
This study investigate the progression of labour in 144 normal weight pregnant women (BMI <30) and 144 obese pregnant women (BMI >30) , not in labor admitted for induction of labor. These women are to be investigated for success of induction of labor.
