AUDIT OF FETAL BLOOD SAMPLING IN LABOUR CORRELATION
WITH CORD BLOOD RESULTS AND FETAL OUTCOMES

Kingdom
Objectives: Fetal blood sampling (FBS) is used commonly to conrm
suspected fetal compromise in labour. The usual indication is a
pathological cardiotocography. CNST (Clinical Negligence Scheme
for Trusts) has outlined certain standards for conducting FBS in
labour.
This audit was conducted to review our current practice of fetal
blood sampling (FBS) and to compare it with standards laid by
CNST.
Materials: This audit was conducted at University Hospital North
Staffordshire, UK. It is a retrospective audit conducted over a
one year period from 01/01/2011 to 31/12/2011. Five women who
underwent FBS were randomly selected from each month making
a total of 60 women.
Methods: A standard proforma was designed. Hospital notes of
the patients included in this study were reviewed to identify the
indication for FBS and the dilatation at which FBS was conducted
i.e. 3 cm classed as early labour or >3 cm classed as established
labour.
We assessed different parameters like analgesia in labour, mode of
delivery, fetal outcomes after FBS through apgar scores and paired
cord blood samples and any record of fetal scalp injury. These were
plotted in graphical analysis.
Results: It was interesting to see that some of our national
standards are not met. These are being addressed at our unit.
Conclusions: Criteria that are not met were highlighted and
presented in our monthly audit meeting. We need a larger cohort
and re-audit to identify whether there is a higher incidence of
delivery by caesarean section in women who undergo FBS in early
labour.

LABOR INDUCTION USING SUB-LINGUAL MISOPROSTOL FOR
PRELABOR RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES AT TERM: A RANDOMIZED
CONTROLLED TRIAL

Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam; 2 University of Medicine and
Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam
Objectives: To compare the effectiveness and safety of labor
induction between 50mcg sub-lingual misoprostol and intravenous
oxytocin drip of term prelabor rupture of the membranes (PROM).
Materials: Design: parallel randomized controlled trial Setting:
Hung Vuong hospital, a tertiary referral 900-bed maternity center
at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Participants: PROM women with
single, live and cephalic-presentation at completed 37 weeks of
gestation or more, without sign of chorioamnionitis.
Methods: A central, computer-generated, block-randomization
scheme was adopted. After giving a written informed consent, an
eligible participant was randomly assigned to receive either 50mcg
sublingual misoprostol or intravenous oxytocin drip. Misoprostol
was repeated, if necessary, four-hourly until total of 4 doses.
Oxytocin drip initiated at 2 mUI/minute was adjusted at twenty
minutes basis until favorable contractions were achieved. Labor was
managed using the standard treatment protocol. Labor induction
was considered failed unless labor achieved active phases 18 hours
post-interventionally. Main outcomes: Cesarean delivery, vaginal
delivery within 24 hours, excessive uterine activity.
Results: A total of 1208 participants were randomized from May
2008 to Nov 2011. Cesarean section rate was 18% (109/605) in
oxytocin group and 17.4% (105/603) in misoprostol group, yielding a
difference rate of 0.6% (95% CI: 3.7% to 4.9%). However, signicantly
more women receiving oxytocin underwent cesarean delivery
