To investigate the effect of maternal hyperoxygenation with 100% in the second stage of labor and in the presence of abnormal fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns on fetal condition, instrumental delivery rate and free radical production. In case a…
The primary objective is to assess feasibility of a food supplement (multispecies probiotic) placebo-controlled, randomised controlled, double blind intervention in pregnant women in their late second/third trimester of pregnancy, to reduce symptoms…
To compare the effectiveness of the tocolytic agents Nifedipine (a calcium channel blocking agent) versus Atosiban (an oxytocin receptor antagonist) in the improvement of neonatal outcome in women with threatened preterm labour (25-34 weeks…
1. To evaluate and compare the impact of hysteroscopic Essure® intratubal device placement and laparoscopic salpingectomy on IVF-ET outcomes of patients with hydrosalpinx.2. It is still uncertain whether laparoscopic salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx…
To assess in term pregnant women with an unfavourable cervix (Bishop score < 6, Appendix1) the effectiveness of induction of labour with a transcervical Foley catheter as compared to induction with misoprostol.
The overall objective of this trial is to generate data on the ovarian stimulation profile obtained when Pergoveris® is started either on stimulation day 1 or stimulation day 6 in ART patients between 36 and 40 years of age (both inclusive). A…
To evaluate whether nitrofurantoin treatment for women with asymptomatic bacteriuria is effective in reducing the risk of preterm delivery and/or pyelonephritis. In addition, assessing whether it is cost-effective to do so.
To assess whether in women with early PPROM tocolytics improve perinatal outcome.
To evaluate whether progesterone treatment for women with a short cervical length is effective in reducing the risk of preterm delivery. In addition to assess whether it is cost-effective to do so.
The objective of this study is to determine whether retention of cerclage after PPROM improves latency (without a significant increase in chorioamnionitis) and lessens neonatal morbidity.
In the proposed study, two main issues will be addressed: first, it will be studied whether a high dose (4.0 mg) of FA supplementation periconceptional has an added value over the now recommended low dose of 0.4 mg in the prevention of congenital…
For women with a singleton fetus in breech presentation at term, this study answers the question if atosiban is more effective compared to fenoterol as a tocolyticum in external cephalic version
To assess the effectiveness of misoprostol in the management of retained placenta. Will 800 micrograms of misoprostol orally reduce the need for manual removal under general anaesthesia and prove to be a safe alternative?
The following hypotheses will be tested:Hypothese a: Remifentanil PCA gives a better labour satisfaction than pethidine/meperidine i.m.Hypothese b: Remifentanil PCA gives a better pain-relief during labour, than pethidine/meperidine intramuscularly.…
The main objective of this study is compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of remifentanil, administered as patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), with epidural analgesia.
To assess in term pregnant women with an unfavourable cervix (Bishop score < 6, Appendix1) the effectiveness of induction of labour with a transcervical Foley catheter as compared to induction with prostaglandins.
The main objective of this study is to compare changes in maternal temperature and oxygen saturation in patients receiving remifentanil, administered intravenous patient-controlled, with those of epidural analgesia.
To compare Remifentanil PCA with epidural anesthesia among healthy nulligravidia during labor.
To evaluate the effectiveness of tocolytic maintenance therapy for postponing delivery after initial 48-hour tocolytic therapy in women with threatened preterm birth from 24-32 weeks gestational age.
To study whether in women with EP with low but plateauing serum hCG concentrations treatment with systemic methotrexate in a single dose intramuscular regimen is superior over expectant management in terms of treatment success, future pregnancy,…
