3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Obstetrical hemorrhage (excessive bleeding related to pregnancy) is a leading cause of maternal morbidity (disease or symptom of disease) and mortality (death) worldwide with a significantly higher frequency and severity following cesarean delivery. Twin gestations (twin pregnancy) are at particularly higher risk for postpartum hemorrhage, yet the management of obstetrical bleeding following twin delivery remains identical to singleton delivery. The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of prophylactic methylergonovine on blood loss in scheduled twin pregnancy cesarean deliveries. Participants will be randomized (like tossing a coin) to Methylergonovine (investigational drug) or water with salt (saline) (placebo). Methylergonovine or saline will be given as an injection immediately after delivery.
The purpose of this study is to collect and analyze data regarding natural history, indications for fetal interventions, and maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes associated with complicated monochorionic twin pregnancy.
The ZTWINS registry study is an observational, prospective, multi-center study observing women carrying a twin pregnancy who receive snp-based non-invasive prenatal screening and zygosity assessment as part of their medical care.
