Trial summary

Fetal heart rate abnormalities are common. Miller et al. have demonstrated that new onset fetal heart rate abnormalities after initial labor epidural dosing occur more frequently in women with a low admission pulse pressure than those with a normal admission pulse. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of a Postural Test on Pulse Pressure Variation During Labor With Epidural Analgesia on Fetal Heart Rate Abnormalities

Fetal heart rate abnormalities are common. Miller et al. have demonstrated that new onset fetal heart rate abnormalities after initial labor epidural dosing occur more frequently in women with a low admission pulse pressure than those with a normal admission pulse. The aim of the present study is to look for a statistical link between the occurrence of a fetal heart abnormality requiring an intervention and maternal hemodynamic factors (blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cardiac output) measured before epidural analgesia in two positions: dorsal decubitus position and in the left lateral decubitus.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Fetal heart rate

    Fetal heart rate abnormalities occurring during the first hour of epidural analgesia and requiring an intervention. Relationship between maternal hemodynamic factors (heart rate, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cardiac output) measured before epidural analgesia in two positions (dorsal decubitus position and in the left lateral decubitus) and fetal heart rate abnormalities occurring during the first hour of epidural analgesia and requiring an intervention.

    Measured: 4 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Fetal heart rate

    Fetal heart rate abnormalities occurring during the labor (>1 hour) and requiring an intervention. Comparison of the prognostic performance of pulse pressure and cardiac output to detect fetal heart rate abnormalities

    Measured: 4 days

  2. Mode of delivery

    Relationship between maternal hemodynamic factors (heart rate, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cardiac output) measured before epidural analgesia in two positions (dorsal decubitus position and in the left lateral decubitus) and mode of delivery.

    Measured: 4 days

  3. Newborn heart rate, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cardiac output

    Relationship between maternal hemodynamic factors (heart rate, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cardiac output) measured before epidural analgesia in two positions (dorsal decubitus position and in the left lateral decubitus) and newborn health status.

    Measured: 4 days

  4. Number of patients with hemodynamic abnormalities

    Heart rate, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and cardiac output measured before and after epidural analgesia.

    Measured: 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nicom (TM) in people with Labor and Epidural Analgesia, run by Hopital Foch at 4 sites 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 16 inclusion and 2 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 3 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

Fetal heart rate (time frame: 4 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03126136, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Aug 2022.
