Official title
The HILIO Trial: High vs. Low Oxytocin Dosing for Induction of Labor in Pregnant Patients With Obesity- PILOT STUDY
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Pregnant patients with obesity are more likely to undergo induction of labor and have a higher risk of failed induction compared to patients with normal weight. The association between maternal obesity and labor dysfunction leading to cesarean delivery is poorly understood. Oxytocin is the mostly common medication used in induction of labor, yet optimal dosing of this medication is unknown. Studies have suggested that patients with obesity may be less responsive to oxytocin. This trial will compare a high and low dose oxytocin dosing regimen for the induction of labor in women with obesity.
