Postpartum Endometritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison Between Azithromycin vs Placebo in Cases of Meconium Stained Amniotic Fluid During the First Stage of Labor in Multigravida Women and Their Effect on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes, a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Randomized Clinical Trial.
Meconium stained amniotic fluid increases the risk of maternal complications (e.g., dystocia, operative delivery, and postpartum endometritis) and neonatal complications (e.g., sepsis, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit [NICU], and meconium aspiration syndrome). The goal of the study is to compare between Azithromycin vs Placebo in cases of meconium stained amniotic fluid during the first stage of labor in multigravida women and their effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Meconium stained amniotic fluid, a troublesome situation both for obstetrician and pediatrician, it is associated with high rates of caesarean section, perinatal morbidity and mortality. The rate of meconium-stained amniotic fluid varies from 12 to 20%.It is higher in underdeveloped countries.Our study design would be a prospective randomized trial. Consented, eligible pregnant women presenting during the first stage of labor at or more than 37 weeks of gestation with meconium stained amniotic fluid will be randomized to receive Azithromycin capsule (Zithromax, Pfizer) (250 mg / 12hrs on empty stomach for 3 days)(Group 1).Group 2 will be offered placebo capsules (manufactured in pharmacy department with the same shape, color and consistency as Azithromycin capsule for 3 days). ;
