Filter by:To compare two protocols of misoprostol use for cervical ripening: 3 doses (25 ug vaginal each) or up to six doses, every six hours, until an adequate cervical condititon was achieved (BIshop score > 6). In the first group, after 3 doses, the patient was sent to the delivery room for induction with oxytocin and in case of failure, a cesarean section was indicated for this reason. In the second group, up to six doses were used in a similar fashion. Rates of success were evaluated, as well as maternal and fetal complications.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal method for induction of labor in multiparous women who present with an unfavorable cervix. Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that using oxytocin while the cervical ripening balloon is in place will result in more rapid labor courses, without increasing morbidity or increasing the need for operative delivery.
In term women presenting for labor induction, combined use of the controlled release dinoprostone vaginal insert and Foley catheter for cervical ripening will decrease the median time from induction to vaginal delivery by at least four hours compared to the Foley catheter alone.
Women with a BMI>30 and women with a BMI<30 will be divided in a randomized controlled manor to 4 groups depending on the mode of labor induction and BMI value: 1. Dinoprostone in women with a BMI>30. 2. Dinoprostone in women with a BMI<30. 3. Cervical ripening balloon in women with a BMI>30. 4. Cervical ripening balloon in women with a BMI<30. The subjects will be followed until labor, and information regarding the success of induction, mode of delivery and time of delivery will be collected from patients' electronic files.
Since it is a frequent intervention in Obstetrics, labor induction is rarely evaluated from national population-based cohorts. The study aims to assess the frequency of different induction methods used in France from a prospective population-based cohort of women with an induced labor. Maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes will be compared between the different induction methods. Moreover the adhesion to national clinical guidelines concerning the induction of labor will be studied from this population-based cohort. Finally the women satisfaction will be assessed according to the induction method used.
The purpose of this research study is to compare induction of labor using a foley catheter bulb with a low dose of oxytocin versus a foley catheter bulb with an increasing dose of oxytocin. A foley catheter bulb with or without oxytocin is a common method of labor induction in patients whose cervix is not significantly dilated or thinned out (effaced). Oxytocin (pitocin) is a medicine used to increase the number and strength of the womb's contractions.
This study is considering current standard oxytocin dosing regimen in combination with Foley bulb for cervical ripening is associated with improved outcomes including greater percentage of women delivered within or less than 24 hours. The investigators will also assess other maternal and neonatal outcomes including risk of infection (i.e. chorioamnionitis), bleeding, uterine atony, cesarean delivery and use of regional analgesia. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 arms of the study: use of oxytocin or no oxytocin while the Foley bulb is in place. As part of standard of care for inductions, Foley bulbs will be placed for all participants. Study participants who are randomly assigned to the use of oxytocin will receive oxytocin at the time the Foley bulb is placed. Study participants randomly assigned to no oxytocin will receive the oxytocin once the Foley bulb is removed. After delivery, information will be collected from participant's chart on the outcome of pregnancy such as gestational age at delivery, type of delivery (vaginal or cesarean section), and baby's outcome (such as birth weight, APGAR scores, and any complications).
Study Design: Allocation: 2 arms Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment Detailed Description The utilization of a Foley catheter for induction of labor is well established. There are two techniques readily used for placing a Foley catheter. The most common method is under direct visualization of the cervix during a sterile speculum examination and the other method is to place a catheter during a digital cervical examination. Studies have reported the use of a rigid stylette (a thin wire inserted into a catheter to maintain rigidity) to guide the insertion of the Foley catheter decreases failure rate. The Foley catheter plus rigid stylette technique seems to be an efficient and safe method for labor induction. However, to our knowledge there is no study that assesses the difference between the standard digital placement of a Foley catheter versus the digital placement of a Foley catheter with stylette.
Dinoprostone(propess) is commonly used for induction of labor in the pregnant women who has intact membrane after 38weeks of gestational age. The investigators study safety and efficacy of dinoprostone in the pregnant women with premature rupture of membrane or GA<38weeks
The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy and safety of the 25mcg vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labour.
