Objective: To compare the outcome of two methods of labor induction and spontaneous onset of labor in breech presentation at term.
Material: A retrospective study between 2003 and 2012. We compare obstetric (indication of induction, Bishop score, cesarean rate) and perinatal outcomes (Apgar score, umbilical artery pH, base excess ≤-12 mmol/L, admission to neonatal unit) between prostaglandins and oxytocin.
Introduction: Our objective was to compare the effect of two pain relief methods (remifentanil vs. nitrous oxide) on the success rate of external cephalic version.
Material And Methods: We conducted a randomized open label parallel-group controlled single-center clinical trial with sequential design, at Cruces University Hospital, Spain.
Objective: We sought to analyze whether maternal intravenous fluid therapy prior to external cephalic version (ECV) increases the amount of amniotic fluid and the success rate of the procedure.
Study Design: This was a prospective single-center cohort study of 200 women with a consecutive cohort of 100 pregnant women with a breech presentation at term who were administered intravenous fluid therapy with 2 L of hypotonic saline before the version attempt, compared to a control cohort of 100 pregnant women not given hydration treatment.
Results: The mean increase in the amniotic fluid index (AFI) after intravenous maternal hydration was 3.
Objective: To analyse the impact of a change in the management of prolonged pregnancies from inducing labour at 42(+0) to induction at 41(0-6).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: Analysis of 3563 single pregnancies with cephalic presentation of ≥ 41 weeks of gestation delivered in Cruces University Hospital (Spain).
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of two methods for induction of labor after previous cesarean section.
Methods: To compare 247 women with a previous cesarean section who were induced with a dinoprostone vaginal insert and 279 women with a previous cesarean section induced with oxytocin, between 2001 and 2008. We evaluated vaginal delivery rate, maternal morbidity and newborn morbidity and mortality.
Objective: To compare the success rate of external cephalic version (ECV) at term using ritodrine or atosiban as a tocolytic agent.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study with a sample of 236 pregnant women with a breech presentation at term, from November 2006 to March 2008. Data have been analyzed from the moment the cephalic version is performed until the time of delivery.
