A Randomized Double-blinded Controlled Trial Comparing Dilation and Evacuation Outcomes With and Without Oxytocin Use

University of Hawaii·interventional·Posted Mar 11, 2014·Updated Nov 27, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating intravenous oxytocin and Intravenous Fluids and Electrolytes for Abortion and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 166 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

Currently, there is very little research to identify ways to decrease blood loss during D\&E (dilation and evacuation) procedures. The objective is to determine whether routine use of intravenous oxytocin will improve bleeding outcomes at the time of D\&E at 18-24-weeks gestation. To evaluate the hypothesis, investigators will perform a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. The patient will be followed until discharged from the postoperative care unit during which time patient satisfaction, pain score and postoperative bleeding will be assessed.
