Maternal Maneuvers During Prolonged Labor
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Labor Stage, First, Prolonged Labor
In brief
This pilot, randomized control trial will test whether or not a specific circuit of position changes improves maternal outcomes in cases of prolonged labor. Patient who have prolonged labor will be approached for consent and randomization to one of two study groups: circuit intervention against routine standard of care position changes. 82 patients will be enrolled in the study. Exclusion criteria will include: any uterine infection prior to randomization, magnesium sulfate treatment, major fetal anomalies, BMI ≥50, non-reassuring fetal status prior to randomization, or any maternal diagnosis that precludes safety or feasibility of the circuit of maternal position changes. The 3 aims of the study will include: the outcome that the circuit of position changes has on the duration of the first stage of labor, maternal and neonatal morbidity, and maternal satisfaction.
