Official title

Combination Oxytocin/Foley Versus Oxytocin Alone for Induction of Labor in Patients With Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes

Overview

Data on the optimal mode of labor induction after preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) is lacking. Studies have shown no difference between oxytocin and misoprostol use for labor induction in this cohort (1). The preponderance of evidence from term pregnancies suggests that Foley catheter coupled with oxytocin is better than oxytocin alone, with a higher rate of delivery within 24 hours when a Foley catheter followed by oxytocin is compared to oxytocin alone. However, the use of a Foley catheter has not been evaluated in prospective studies on patients with PPROM.

Interventions

  • Combination product Oxytocin plus Foley Catheter
    Intravenous oxytocin and a transcervical Foley catheter
  • Drug Oxytocin
    Intravenous oxytocin

Primary outcome measures

  • Vaginal Delivery within 12 Hours [Time frame: 12 hours]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
  • Vaginal Delivery Rate [Time frame: From enrollment until delivery]
  • Intraamniotic Infection [Time frame: Enrollment through 6 weeks postpartum]
  • Operative vaginal delivery [Time frame: From enrollment until delivery]
  • Cesarean delivery [Time frame: From enrollment until delivery]
  • Estimated and quantitative blood loss [Time frame: From enrollment until hospital discharge (up to 5 days post-delivery).]
  • Blood transfusion [Time frame: From enrollment until hospital discharge (up to 5 days post-delivery)]
  • Maternal morbidity and adverse maternal outcomes [Time frame: From enrollment until 6 weeks postpartum]
  • Antepartum, intrapartum, or neonatal death [Time frame: From enrollment until 6 weeks postpartum]
  • Suspected and confirmed neonatal sepsis [Time frame: From delivery until hospital discharge (up to 5 days post-delivery)]
  • Birth weight [Time frame: Recorded day of delivery]
  • Hypoglycemia (glucose < 35 mg/dl) requiring IV glucose therapy [Time frame: From birth until hospital discharge (up to 5 days post-delivery)]
  • Intubation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) for ventilation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation within first 72 hours [Time frame: From birth until 72 hours after delivery]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients 18-50 years of age;
  • The patient is fluent in English, physically and mentally able to understand the informed consent, and is willing to participate in this study;
  • PPROM;

  • Fetal cephalic presentation;
  • The patient is between 34 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days of gestation at the time of enrollment. Gestational age will be determined by last menstrual period, confirmed with a first trimester ultrasound, per the recommended guidelines by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Exclusion criteria

  • Spontaneous labor
  • Known allergy to latex;
  • Cervical dilation >2cm;
  • Chorioamnionitis;
  • Contraindications to induction of labor or use of Foley for cervical ripening
  • HIV
  • Known or suspected fetal anomaly or aneuploidy;
  • Prisoners.
