About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Rates of Fetal Extractions Between a Systematic Practice of an Echography of Presentation and the Only Vaginal Touch Usually Realized During the Labor

The main objective of this study is to compare the rate of fetal extractions between a systematic practice of an echography of presentation and the vaginal touch only one usually realized during the labor.

Read the detailed description

The main objective is to compare the rate of fetal extractions between a systematic practice of an echography of presentation and the vaginal touch only one usually realized during the labor.

It is a prospective, randomized study. After randomization, the patients will be assigned to one of following both groups:

  • Diagnosis of the variety of presentation of the fetal head by the usual examination, that is the only vaginal touch allowing the palpation of the sutures of the fetal head to locate the axis and the orientation of this one in the maternal pond. However, this clinical examination can be completed by an echography if the team considers that this information is necessary to optimize the coverage delivery in case of extraction by pair of forceps or suction cup.
  • Diagnosis of the variety of presentation of the fetal head by the vaginal touch, confirmed by the systematic practice of an abdominal echography completed by a perineal echography from 8 cms of dilation, and made for a maximal extension of 15 minutes following the vaginal touch. This echography will be at the need repeated 1900 patients (that is 950 by group) have to allow to detect a decrease of 25 % of the rate of deliveries assisted in the experimental group (systematic echography) with regard to the control group (TV), that is a decrease absolved from the rate from 20 % to 15 %, with a 80 % power and a risk of 5 % (bilateral test).

Duration of participation in the study: = 2 days Duration of the inclusions: 36 months

Criteria of efficiency Rate of deliveries attended defined by a composite criteria: deliveries by caesarian from a dilation of the cervix = 8 cms, and instrumental extractions by pair of forceps or suction cup.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing echography in people with Assisted Delivery, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to compare the rate of fetal extractions between a systematic practice of an echography of presentation and the vaginal touch only one usually realized during the labor. (time frame: TWO DAYS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Nov 2011.
