A Randomized Double Blind Clinical Trial Comparing Oxytocin Low-dose and High-dose Regimens for Labor Augmentation
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Oxytocin and Sodium Chloride 0.9% for Dystocia. Completed, enrolled 1,003 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Oxytocin is a medication that is often used to strengthen contractions to overcome delayed labor progress. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether receiving a higher dose of oxytocin lowers the chance of needing a cesarean section when compared to a lower dose of oxytocin. Other aims include examining the relationship between dose of oxytocin regimen and length of labor, postpartum hemorrhage, intrauterine infection, umbilical cord gas, neonatal Apgar score \<5 at 5 minutes, and need for neonatal intensive care.
