Eligibility:

FEMALE

16+ years

Phase:

PHASE3

Brief Summary

A double-blind placebo controlled randomized trial comparing cesarean delivery rates in women given IV propranolol versus placebo for treatment of prolonged labor.

Detailed Description

A double-blind placebo controlled randomized trial comparing cesarean delivery rates in 326 women given IV propranolol (2 mg with one possible repeat dose greater than 2 hours later) versus IV placebo...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • English-speaking
  • \>= 36 weeks gestation
  • Singleton pregnancy
  • Vertex presentation
  • No contraindication to a vaginal delivery
  • Meets at least one study criteria for prolonged labor:
  • cervical dilation \<6 cm after ≥8 hours with ruptured membranes and receiving oxytocin OR
  • cervical dilation \>=6 cm and \<1 cm dilation change over ≥2 hours with ruptured membranes and receiving oxytocin

Exclusion

  • Severe preeclampsia: as patients will be receiving magnesium and possibly labetalol for hypertension control
  • Receiving other beta blocker
  • Maternal heart rate \< 70 beats per minute, systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure \<50 mmHg on two sets of vital signs in the 1 hour prior to study drug administration: given that bradycardia and hypotension are possible side effects of propranolol
  • History of any form of asthma: as this is a contraindication to beta blocker use
  • Diabetes requiring insulin in labor: given the potential risk of neonatal hypoglycemia in the neonate
  • Any cardiac condition for which β blockade is contraindicated (cardiogenic shock, sinus bradycardia, and greater than first degree heart block)
  • Known hypersensitivity to propranolol
  • Intrauterine fetal demise since different labor protocols are used in these women
  • Major fetal congenital anomaly since rate of cesarean may be inherently different in these women, unrelated to labor
