Vaginal Misoprostol Compared to Vaginal Dinoprostone for Induction of Labour: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Induction of labour is a common intervention. The prostaglandin dinoprostone is often used, but there is increasing evidence that misoprostol may be more effective without compromising safety. This review compares the efficacy and safety of vaginal misoprostol and vaginal dinoprostone.

Added Value of Estimated Fetal Weight Growth Velocity to Doppler Evaluation for the Prediction of Perinatal Outcomes Among Foetuses With EFW < 10th Centile at Term: A Retrospective Cohort Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate whether estimated fetal weight (EFW) growth velocity (GV), assessed using interval‐specific standards, provides additional prediction beyond standard criteria for identifying adverse outcomes in term foetuses with EFW < 10th centile. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Tertiary perinatal centre. Population A cohort

Plasma and colostrum concentrations of fentanyl in clinical practice: Intravenous versus epidural administration for labor analgesia

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Midwife‐administered intravenous fentanyl may be considered a feasible option for labor analgesia. Abstract Introduction Pain relief during labor is essential. Systemic opioids for labor analgesia have been used for decades as a less invasive alternative to epidural analgesia (EA).

Rapid sequence spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia: A prospective randomized study of anesthesia to delivery time in category-1 caesarean section

Journal of Obstetric Anaesthesia and Critical Care, 2016
Background and Aims: Spinal anesthesia is the preferred technique over general anesthesia in caesarean section. General anesthesia is still used for category-1 emergency caesarean section because of time constraints.

Toward implementation of lactate compared with pH in fetal scalp blood sampling during labor: A clinical comparative single‐center study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Lactate and pH in fetal blood samples are moderately correlated (r = −0.53). For the StatStrip® Lactate 2, we propose a lactate cutoff value of ≥5.6 mmol/L based on the most optimal balance between sensitivity (78.1% [60.0–90.7%]) and specificity (79.2% [73.4–84.3%]).

Investigating whether adverse prenatal and perinatal events are associated with non-clinical psychotic symptoms at age 12 years in the ALSPAC birth cohort [PDF]

, 2009
Background. Non-clinical psychosis-like symptoms (PLIKS) occur in about 15% of the population. It is not clear whether adverse events during early development alter the risk of developing PLIKS.
