About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine that maternal hydration during labor with fluids containing glucose at a rate of 125 ml per hour does not affect the duration of labor compared to Ringer Lactate at a rate of 250 ml per hour.

Read the detailed description

During labor it is a common practice that the parturient is fastening and having fluid replacement through intravenous hydration (IVH), the rational being to avoid aspiration of gastric content in a situation of need for urgent intervention and general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. It is acceptable to infuse 125 ml per hour of a physiological solution that does not contain sugar, but the volume is not adjusted to the weight of mother, the level of effort or relaxation she is experiencing and it may well be below the required amount. From studies in the field of sport medicine it is clear that the amount of fluid reaching the muscle has an impact on the efficiency of the muscle at the level of tissue and the level of personal achievement in sports. Only few studies dealt with the amount and contents of IVH during labor that will be sufficient and meet all physiologic requirements of the parturient and her fetus.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 0.9% Saline with glucose 5% and Ringer lactate in people with Labor Stage, First and Labor Stage, Second, run by HaEmek Medical Center, Israel at 1 site in Israel.

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 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
