Article Synopsis
  • Oxytocin can shorten labor but may cause complications, leading researchers to investigate if stopping the drug during labor affects neonatal outcomes.
  • The STOPOXY trial, conducted in 21 French maternity units, randomly assigned participants to either stop or continue oxytocin infusion after reaching 6 cm dilation, measuring neonatal morbidity based on specific health indicators at birth.
  • The study included 2,170 eligible participants, finding no significant difference in neonatal morbidity between the two groups, suggesting that discontinuing oxytocin may not increase risks for newborns.

The obstetrical follow-up of patients with a severe hypofibrinogenemia requires a multidisciplinary collaboration because of potential maternal-fetal complications (recurrent miscarriages, intrauterine fetal demise, post-partum hemorrhage, thrombosis). We report the obstetrical management of a multiparous patient with a severe congenital hypofibrinogenemia associated with a platelet disorder (abnormal phospholipid externalization). A therapeutic strategy based on a biweekly administration of fibrinogen concentrates associated with enoxaparin and aspirin allowed the maintenance of pregnancy.

Objectives: Obesity is a well-known caesarean and obstetrical risk factor. However, the number of obese nulliparous women is increasing worldwide, creating an urgent need for research into the impact of obesity on the mode of delivery. Our objective was to identify caesarean risk factors in obese nulliparous women with a BMI (body mass index) greater than 40kg/m.
