  • Tocolytics Used As Adjunctive Therapy at the Time of Cerclage Placement: a Systematic Review
    Journal of Perinatology (2015) 35, 561–565 © 2015 Nature America, Inc. All rights reserved 0743-8346/15 www.nature.com/jp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Tocolytics used as adjunctive therapy at the time of cerclage placement: a systematic review J Smith1,2 and EA DeFranco3,4 OBJECTIVE: To review the published literature on whether the use of empiric perioperative tocolytic medications could provide additional benefit when used in combination with cerclage. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review of published medical literature reporting the efficacy of empiric tocolytics used as a perioperative adjunct to vaginal cerclage in high-risk patients. A PubMed search without date criteria of various tocolytics and cerclage yielded 42 studies. Review articles were excluded, as were reports of abdominal cerclage, emergent cerclage, or cerclage for the purpose of delayed interval delivery in twin gestations. RESULT: Only five publications on the topic of perioperative tocolytic use at the time of history or ultrasound-indicated vaginal cerclage placement were identified. These included zero clinical trials, three retrospective cohort studies, one case series and one case report. Only one cohort study compared cerclage with indomethacin and cerclage without indomethacin and suggested no difference between the groups. The other two published cohort studies had no referent group who received cerclage without tocolysis. One case series and one case report were also published reporting cerclage with empiric beta-mimetic and progesterone adjunctive therapy. CONCLUSION: There is a paucity of published data on the topic of adjunctive perioperative tocolytics with cerclage. Adequately powered clinical trials on perioperative use of tocolysis with cerclage compared with a standard cerclage placement alone are needed to establish efficacy.

Am J Perinatol 2012;29:175–186. Abstract Preterm labor (PTL) is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among the available tocolytics, indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, has been in use since the 1970s. Recent studies have suggested that prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors are superior to other tocolytics in delaying delivery for 48 hours and 7 days. However, increased neonatal complications including oligohydramnios, Keywords renal failure, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, and closure of the ► indomethacin patent ductus arteriosus have been reported with the use of indomethacin. Indometh- ► tocolysis acin has been also used in women with short cervices as well as in those with idiopathic ► preterm labor polyhydramnios.

  • Cord Prolapse Clinical Guideline
    Cord Prolapse Clinical Guideline V3.0 July 2021 1. Aim/Purpose of this Guideline 1.1. This is to give guidance to all midwives and obstetricians on the recognition and management of an umbilical cord prolapse.. 1.2. This version supersedes any previous versions of this document. Data Protection Act 2018 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) Legislation The Trust has a duty under the DPA18 to ensure that there is a valid legal basis to process personal and sensitive data. The legal basis for processing must be identified and documented before the processing begins. In many cases we may need consent; this must be explicit, informed and documented. We cannot rely on opt out, it must be opt in. DPA18 is applicable to all staff; this includes those working as contractors and providers of services. For more information about your obligations under the DPA18 please see the Information Use Framework Policy or contact the Information Governance Team [email protected] 1.3. This guideline makes recommendations for women and people who are pregnant. For simplicity of language the guideline uses the term women throughout, but this should be taken to also include people who do not identify as women but who are pregnant, in labour and in the postnatal period. When discussing with a person who does not identify as a woman please ask them their preferred pronouns and then ensure this is clearly documented in their notes to inform all health care professionals. 2. The Guidance 2.1. Definition Cord prolapse is defined as the descent of the umbilical cord through the cervix alongside (occult) or past the presenting part (overt) in the presence of ruptured membranes.

  • PROTOCOL: Tocolysis with Nifedipine
    PROTOCOL: Tocolysis with Nifedipine Background: Nifedipine (Adalat) is a calcium-channel blocker that acts by relaxing smooth muscle. Its main use until now has been in the management of hypertension and angina. When used in preterm labor, it relaxes the uterine wall muscle, decreasing contractions and prolonging the time to delivery. When used properly, it has a low rate of maternal side- effects and has not been shown to have significant deleterious effects on the fetus. Goal: To delay time to delivery, in order to administer corticosteroids and enable transfer to a higher-level care center. Indications: o Pre-term labor (regular contractions resulting in cervical changes) gestational age of 24 to 34 weeks, with intact membranes o To delay delivery for 48 hours to allow action of corticosteroids Absolute contra-indications o Intra-uterine infection o Intrauterine fetal death o Lethal fetal malformation o Eclampsia or severe pre-eclampsia o Concurrent use of magnesium sulfate (due to risk of cardiovascular collapse) o Concurrent use of anti-arrhythmic medications o Fetal or maternal arrhythmia (eg. Wolf-Parkinson-White) o Maternal heart failure o Symptomatic maternal hypotension o Allergy to calcium-channel blockers o Current antepartum hemorrhage o Urgent fetal or maternal indication to deliver 1 Relative contra-indications o Gestational age of 24-32 weeks with rupture of membranes and no evidence of underlying infection (discuss with high-risk obstetrician) o Gestational age >34 weeks (discuss with high-risk obstetrician) o Cervical dilatation more than 4 cms (discuss with high-risk obstetrician) o Non-reassuring fetal heart pattern o Fetal tachycardia o Intra-uterine growth retardation o Multiple gestation DOSING Nifedipine (Adalat) Loading dose: 20 mg PO in one dose.
