Sildenafil Citrate and Intrapartum Fetal Distress

Egypt410 participantsStarted 2020-09-01

Plain-language summary

Induction of labour (IOL) is done for 20% of pregnancies for various maternal and fetal indications and nearly 20% of labour inductions end up in caesarean section. The most common causes are failed induction and intrapartum fetal distress. In spite of significant advances in methods of IOL and intrapartum fetal monitoring, no interventions are proven to reduce the development of intrapartum fetal distress
