About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

The use of fundal pressure in management of the second stage of labor is controversial. The aim of this study is both to evaluate the effectiveness of fundal pressure in shortening the second stage of labor and to examine the related neonatal and maternal outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomly allocated to two groups by using a computer-generated random number chart: Kristeller maneuver intervention (study) group (n=140) and control group (n=140). Umbilical artery blood gas will obtained to assess the newborn's acid-base status. The umbilical artery levels of creatinine kinase, creatinine kinase with myocardial specific isoform, aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, lactate dehydrogenase and lactic acid will be measured. Length of episiotomy and length of vagina will be measured at 45 degrees from the midline. Each patient's vaginal laceration, cervical laceration, length of episiotomy and vagina before and after delivery and duration of the second stage of labor in minutes will be recorded. Neonatal information will include: infant birth weight, apgar scores, babies requiring pediatric help, and admission of neonatal intensive care units.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing KRISTELLER in people with Secons Stage of Labor, run by Kayseri Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

vaginal laceration, cervical laceration, length of episiotomy and vagina before and after delivery (time frame: up to 6 months). 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?
