Intrapartum Fever: Antibiotics Versus no Treatment

NCT03168178 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2018-10-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether antibiotics can be safely avoided in women who develop a fever during labor. Because investigators have no accurate tests to determine whether women who develop fever during labor have intra-amniotic infection, antibiotics are often used to prevent spread of infection to the fetus.

Conditions

  • Chorioamnionitis
  • Intrapartum Fever
  • Intra-amniotic Infection
