Detailed Description
Miscarriage is defined by the World Health Organization as the interruption of the pregnancy up to 20-23 weeks, or the products of pregnancy weighing less than 500 grams (1). Nearly 15% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, especially in the first 12 weeks. Estimates indicate that 68000 women die worldwide each year, as a result of unsafe abortions. Abortions are the major cause of maternal death, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean. In cases of retained and incomplete abortions, uterine emptying is recommended. In the first trimester of pregnancy, either pharmacological or surgical procedure is accepted according to international guidelines.
Pharmacological treatment for uterine evacuation includes the administration of mifepristone and misoprostol or misoprostol alone. Nevertheless, surgical methods have been shown a greater acceptability and patient satisfaction due to a reduced incidence of adverse effects. Currently, Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) is the technique recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics.
MVA should be performed after cervical ripening. This pre-surgical procedure makes the procedure safer and more effective. In Brazil, misoprostol is the most suitable drug to be used in these cases because of its efficacy, ease of use, low cost, stability at room temperature, and availability. Misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog and can be administered by oral, sublingual, buccal, rectal, and vaginal routes.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants Who Required Cervix Dilation at Initiation of the Manual Vacuum Aspiration
Time Frame: baseline at initiation of the Manual Vacuum Aspiration
|
this outcome identifies patients that had to have a mechanical dilator for opening the cervix to perform appropriate Manual Vacuum Aspiration
|
baseline at initiation of the Manual Vacuum Aspiration
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants With a Presence of a Uterine Cervical Canal With ≥8 mm of Dilation
Time Frame: Baseline before Manual Vacuum Aspiration procedure
|
This outcome measures how many mm of dilation the cervical canal has before the procedure.
Cervical permeability (≥8 mm of dilation, used as a cut-off) was measured using Karman cannulas, from higher to low diameter.
