Stopped: Due to budgetary concerns, the TSC decided it best to adjust sample size as there was sufficient data to assess feasibility. Recruitment was terminated early.
The ultimate objective is to test the hypothesis that an 'accelerated titration' protocol for labour augmentation with oxytocin reduces the risk of caesarean births relative to a 'gradual titration' protocol. The aims of this pilot feasibility are: 1. To assess the feasibility of a large multi-centre randomized control trial comparing the two above oxytocin protocols (accelerated titration versus gradual titration for correction of dystocia). 2. More specifically, to identify potential challenges in the study implementation, particularly with respect to patient recruitment, randomization, blinding, and compliance/adherence to the labour management guidelines and study protocols. 3. To obtain preliminary data on the acceptability of the accelerated oxytocin titration protocol among obstetrical providers and participants.
