An observational study in Postpartum Hemorrhage, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois. Completed at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-09-02.
Sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois · Observational
Prospective study evaluating the feasibility of shear-wave elastography of the uterus during the third stage of labour and following placental delivery. The investigators hypothesize that the stiffness of the myometrium can be measured by using shear-wave technology. This study involves 30 patients with a healthy pregnancy and spontaneous vaginal delivery. One co-investigator will carry out measurements at the uterine fundus, at three different time points: after fetal delivery, after placental delivery and 30 minutes after placental delivery.
445 studies on the registry are indexed under Postpartum Hemorrhage; 75 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is below the median of 150 across 91 observational studies indexed under Postpartum Hemorrhage.
