Intrapartum Fever: Antibiotics Versus no Treatment

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Chorioamnionitis, Intrapartum Fever, Intra-amniotic Infection

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether antibiotics can be safely avoided in women who develop a fever during labor. Because investigators have no accurate tests to determine whether women who develop fever during labor have intra-amniotic infection, antibiotics are often used to prevent spread of infection to the fetus.
