About this study

Official title: Manual and Expressed Placental Removal at Planned Cesarean Delivery and Its Effects on Various Cardiac Indices as Measured By Continuous Wave Doppler Ultrasonography

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether manual removal of the placenta during a cesarean delivery results in higher changes in the resistance of blood flow throughout the body, also called systemic vascular resistance (SVR)

Read the detailed description

Patients presenting to William Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak Labor and Delivery for a scheduled low transverse cesarean delivery will be asked to participate in a prospective, randomized study to evaluate any changes in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) pre- and post-delivery.

After obtaining informed consent, the patients will be randomized to one of two groups: group 1 will have manual removal of the placenta at cesarean section and group 2 will have expressed removal of the placenta at cesarean section.

Both groups will have a pre-operative continuous wave Doppler evaluation and a post-operative continuous wave Doppler evaluation at 24 hours after delivery. Continuous wave Doppler evaluation will be used pre- and post-operatively to evaluate any changes in SVR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemodynamic profile, especially Systemic Vascular Resistance

    Measured: immediately before and 24 hours after cesarean delivery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. development of postpartum preeclampsia

    Measured: within 1 week of delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Manual removal and Expressed removal in people with Pregnancy and Cesarean Delivery, run by Corewell Health East at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2012. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: unable to recruit patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Hemodynamic profile, especially Systemic Vascular Resistance (time frame: immediately before and 24 hours after cesarean delivery). 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 16 Jul 2012.
