Official title
A Randomized Double-blinded Controlled Trial Comparing Dilation and Evacuation Outcomes With and Without Oxytocin Use
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Currently, there is very little research to identify ways to decrease blood loss during D\&E (dilation and evacuation) procedures. The objective is to determine whether routine use of intravenous oxytocin will improve bleeding outcomes at the time of D\&E at 18-24-weeks gestation. To evaluate the hypothesis, investigators will perform a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. The patient will be followed until discharged from the postoperative care unit during which time patient satisfaction, pain score and postoperative bleeding will be assessed.
