Filter by:To evaluate the uterocervical angle (UCA) in the prediction of second trimester termination success of multiparous women.
Reducing the time patients spend in the labor and delivery room saves money and reduces patient discomfort as well and reducing complications. We will compare two methods for inducing cervical maturation in order to shorten the time taken between administration of drugs and delivery.
This study aims to collection additional data on the safety and acceptability of medical abortion without pretreatment pelvic ultrasound or exam in woman who meet certain criteria.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and acceptability of a regimen of 200 mg mifepristone (Zacafemyl), followed 24-48 hours later by 800 mcg of buccal misoprostol.
Background: Medical abortions in Canada are provided using a standard regimen of methotrexate and misoprostol. After these medications are administered, patients are most commonly checked for termination of the pregnancy with an ultrasound and physical examination at an in-clinic follow-up appointment. These follow-up appointments can be inconvenient, costly, and take away from patient privacy. Furthermore, it has been suggested that these follow-up appointments may not be necessary for patients. Objective: To determine whether remote follow-up, using telephone and blood testing is a feasible, safe, and effective method of follow‐up after medical abortion, compared to standard care that requires an in-clinic visit and ultrasound. This study offers women the option of remote follow-up by telephone combined with serum Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) testing or standard in-clinic follow up. We will determine women's preferences for follow up, and compare adherence to the follow-up schedule, number of clinical contacts, and outcomes of the abortion. This study will be performed at two clinics in Toronto, the Bay Centre for Birth Control (BCBC) and the Choice in Health Clinic (CIHC). Primary Hypothesis: Follow-up will be more successful with RFU, compared to SFU.
This study included women who underwent voluntary second trimester termination of pregnancy. Patients were randomized to programmed intermittent epidural anesthetic bolus or continuous epidural infusion for pain analgesia. In this randomized, double-blind study, the investigators assess the incidence of motor block (primary outcome), degree of satisfaction of the patients, total levobupivacaine and sufentanil consumption and adverse events (secondary outcomes) between the two study groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an alternative method of follow-up after medical abortion is acceptable and feasible for use in Moldova and Uzbekistan.
