efficacy of evening primrose oil in shortening the duration of induction in 2nd trimesteric missed abortion
This study compares the success rate of letrozole and misoprostol versus misoprostol alone for medical termination of first trimester pregnancy.
The intervention to be evaluated are operative hysteroscopy(group A) and ultrasound guided aspiration(group C) and blinded vacuum aspiration(group B). For all surgical procedures , surgical antibiotics prophylaxis, misoprostol to dilate cervix, and anti adhesion barrier gel will be used. The evacuated retention products will be sent for pathological examination. Group A: Operative Hystroscopy: The procedure will be performed under general anaesthesia with the patient in lithotomy position. the cervix is grasped with pozzi forceps and dilated up to hegar 9 to facilitate insertion of the hysteroscopy. The uterine cavity will be distended with saline or glycine, with a maximum irrigation pressure of 110mmHg. The retained products will be resected from top to bottom with surgical resector without electric power. The use of forceps or curettes to facilitate the removal of material is permitted. . Group B:blinded vacuum aspiration of gestational contents: The women were allowed to empty their urinary bladder before induction of anesthesia, After positioning the patient appropriately on the operating table, bimanual pelvic examination was performed under anesthesia to assess the axis and the size of the uterus. A Sim's speculum was inserted into the vagina; the cervix was visualized and grasped using the Vulsellum forceps. The cervical canal was dilated gradually with Hegar dilators up to the size corresponding to the weeks of gestation. The uterine cavity was evacuated using a plastic cannula attached to an electric suction apparatus. Negative pressure of 75 mmHg was used. The aspirate was examined to confirm the presence of products of conception. The completeness of the evacuation was checked by gentle sharp curettage and final suctioning at the end of procedure. Group C: Ultrasound guided aspiration curettage : same as group B but guided with ultrasound
Anembryonic pregnancy is a leading cause of early miscarriage. The American Pregnancy Association estimates that blighted ovum causes approximately 50 percent of all first-trimester miscarriages. About 20 percent of all pregnancies result in miscarriage. In general, there are 3 options for management of anembryonic pregnancy: expectant, medical, and surgical management. Expectant management consists of no intervention and awaiting natural passage of tissue. Medical management uses medication to expel uterine tissue. Surgical management is defined by mechanical removal of tissue from the uterus. Medical management allows patients to avoid surgery and anesthesia. Patients may also feel that medical management is more private, and under their control. Several medications have been studied for medical management. Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analogue, is a uterotonic that results in cervical softening and contractions that expel the products of conception. It may be administered vaginally, orally, buccally, or sublingually. Adverse effects vary based on route of administration. There is published literature on a wide range of therapeutic misoprostol regimens. Optimal dose and route of administration of misoprostol have not been determined by randomized trials. Overall, misoprostol is safe and well-tolerated. Patients receiving misoprostol vaginally rather than orally have decreased adverse gastrointestinal effects and prolonged duration of action. Oral misoprostol is less effective than vaginal misoprostol in emptying the uterus. Sublingual misoprostol is equivalent to vaginal misoprostol in inducing complete uterine emptying but is associated with more frequent diarrhea. When compared with lower dosages, a dose of 800 µg vaginal misoprostol is more effective at completing uterine emptying, although it results in a similar incidence of nausea. Based on international trials in settings with limited resources, WHO recommends a single vaginal dose of 800 µg misoprostol for medical management of anembryonic pregnancy. Routes of misoprostol administration include oral, vaginal, buccal or rectal. Vaginal misoprostol is associated with a greater overall exposure to the drug and greater effects on the cervix and uterus. Isosorbide mononitrate (IMN) is a drug used principally in the treatment of angina pectoris, which acts by dilating the blood vessels so as to reduce blood pressure.
During the recent decades the need for surgical evacuation of the uterus in early miscarriages and incomplete miscarriages has been questioned. It has been shown that an observational approach can be, in many cases, as good as an invasive one without increasing the incidence of uterine infections. it has been shown that misoprostol - prostaglandin E1 given for missed abortions is successful in emptying the uterus in 85% of cases without any need for surgical intervention. and during recent years many women prefer this approach than the surgical one . Many have tried using sonographic signs such as endometrial thickness, the presence of a gestational sac, and color doppler to differ between blood clots and a gestational residua in uterus, and to decide according to these signs wether there is a need for surgical evacuation or an expectant management could be used. but none of these methods have been proven to be completely efficient as predictors. In this study the investigators will examine whether the doppler indices in the uterine arteries can help to predict which gestational residua needs surgical evacuation of the uterus and which could be managed expectantly. The study hypothesis is that the resistance in uterine artery doppler will be lower in cases with intrauterine residua as opposed to high resistance in cases without residua.
