Oral Feeding During Established Labor at Our Institution

April 12, 2018 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Oral Feeding During Established Labor. Current Practices in the Obstetric Department of the Femme Mère Enfant Hospital (Lyon, France)

Current French guidelines allow oral intake of clear fluid in women in established labor under epidural analgesia. To date, no study assessed how these guidelines are followed in clinical practice. This study aims to assess the current practices as to the fasting during the labor at our institution, while assessing the experience and the expectations of the parturients (level of comfort or discomfort related to fasting).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Rate of parturients who declared to have ingested clear fluid during the labor.
Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determine the instructions given by health professionals, their spontaneous or non-spontaneous character and the information related to the given fast, according to the parturient
Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Determine the instructions given by health professionals, whether they are spontaneous or not
The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery

Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Degree of discomfort related to thirst on a simple numeric scale (0: no discomfort at 10: very uncomfortable)
The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Assess the degree of discomfort associated with hunger that was felt during labor
Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Degree of discomfort related to hunger on a simple numeric scale (0: no discomfort at 10: very uncomfortable)
The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Evaluate women's satisfaction with the fasting instructions received
Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Satisfaction with fasting instructions given on a simple numerical scale (0: very high dissatisfaction, 10: maximum satisfaction)

Determine if nausea and vomiting are more common in women who have ingested fluids during labor
Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Incidence of at least one episode of nausea and vomiting during labor
The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Analyze the factors associated with fasting during work and their concordance with the French recommendations on fasting during labor
Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Analysis of independent risk factors for the patient's strict fasting during labor
The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Indicate the total duration of fast and solid fasting before birth
Time Frame: The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Total duration of liquid fasting and solids preceding birth
The survey will be completed within 2 hours following the delivery
Compare fasting instructions received by patients and practices reported by professionals

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
