Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the effect of higher doses of oxytocin (intervention group) vs standard doses of oxytocin (control group) on the rate of caesarean sections in obese patients with spontaneous onset of labour ;Secondary Objective: a. To compare the effect of higher doses of oxytocin (intervention group) vs standard doses of oxytocin (control group) on: •Maternal and labour complications: - Length of labour - Arrest of labour-Interruption of oxytocin perfusion and reason- Uterine hyper-stimulation- Mode of vaginal delivery - Reason for caesarean section- Post-partum haemorrhage- Maternal blood transfusion - Volume of oxytocin infusion- Oxytocin side effects•Foetal complications •Neonatal complications b. To create a biobank of maternal and cord blood.This bank will be used for an ancillary study part of the SENEC project which has been recently created as a FHU. The SENEC project aims at developing a multidisciplinary approach common to chronic diseases (red blood-cell, neurodegenerative, lung, cardiovascular & metabolic including obesity) ;Primary end point(s): To compare the rates of caesarean section in obese patients with spontaneous labour between two oxytocin dosage regimens;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At the end of follow-up for the last patient

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Compare the two oxytocin dosage regimens for: - Labour and delivery circumstances - Maternal complications - Foetal complications - Neonatal complications - Oxytocin side effects ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At the end of follow-up for the last patient
