Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Obstetric Labor Complications:

1.	Oxytocin (Pitocin)FDA LinkGeneric 11/01/2014 - "Double balloon catheter resulted in fewer labor complications, but more frequent use of oxytocin and amniotomy. " 08/01/2000 - "Labor complications increased from 40 to 42 weeks, including oxytocin induction (2% versus 35%, P <.001), length of labor (5.5 +/- 4.9 versus 8.8 +/- 6. 5 hours, P <.001), prolonged second stage of labor (2% versus 4%, P <.001), forceps use (6% versus 9%, P <.001), and cesarean delivery (7% versus 14%, P <.001). "
2.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 09/22/1993 - "We compared the outcomes and costs of the recent practice of no intervention with those expected for three prevention strategies: (1) intrapartum antibiotics administered to colonized women with labor complications, (2) an alternative strategy that does not require screening but uses epidemiologic criteria and labor complications to target intrapartum antibiotics, and (3) maternal vaccination. " 04/01/1988 - " Maternal mortality would be drastically reduced if unwanted pregnancies could be prevented by access to contraception or ended by legal abortion, if uterine aspiration and antibiotics were available to treat pregnancy and labor complications and complications of illegal abortions, and if prenatal care were provided."
3.	Misoprostol (Cytotec)FDA LinkGeneric 02/01/2013 - "A combination of the Foley bulb and vaginal misoprostol resulted in a shorter induction-to-delivery time when compared with vaginal misoprostol alone without increasing labor complications. "
4.	SodiumIBA 02/01/1975 - "[Potassium and sodium content of blood of parturients during physiological labor and in certain labor complications]."
5.	RelaxinIBA 02/01/2001 - "Relaxin, a two-chain peptide from the insulin family that regulates the turnover of connective tissue, is being developed by Connetics and Celltech for the potential treatment of infertility and labor complications. "
6.	PotassiumIBA 02/01/1975 - "[Potassium and sodium content of blood of parturients during physiological labor and in certain labor complications]."
7.	Insulin (Novolin)FDA Link 02/01/2001 - "Relaxin, a two-chain peptide from the insulin family that regulates the turnover of connective tissue, is being developed by Connetics and Celltech for the potential treatment of infertility and labor complications. "
8.	GasesIBA 10/01/1987 - "Apgar scores and umbilical cord blood gases were significantly influenced by labor complications (fetal distress, meconium, and pre-eclampsia), infant weight, type of cesarean delivery (primary vs. repeat), and type of anesthesia. "
9.	Estrogens (Estrogen)FDA Link 12/01/1982 - "[Pregnancy and labor complications in patients with reduced and elevated excretion of estrogens in urine]."
10.	Diethylstilbestrol (Stilbestrol)FDA Link 03/01/1982 - "The reproductive capability and labor complications of 98 women exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero were compared with those of 3 separate control groups. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Chemoprevention 09/22/1993 - "Universal prenatal screening for GBS and chemoprophylaxis of colonized women with labor complications is likely to be cost-beneficial in the United States. "
2.	Massage (Reflexology) 01/01/2012 - "This study aimed to compare the effects of perineal management techniques (hands-off technique, Ritgen maneuver and perineal massage using a lubricant during delivery) on the labor complications. "
3.	Cesarean Section (Caesarean Section) 03/01/2012 - "Continuation of pregnancy in the presence of BSA is associated with greater maternal risks, in the form of labor complications requiring cesarean section. " 03/01/2005 - "There were no differences in labor characteristics and the rate of cesarean section, labor complications and abnormal puerperium between both studied groups. " 01/01/1969 - "[Labor complications, obstetrical measures and preparations for cesarean section in carnivora]." 01/01/2013 - "In our sample, an EPDS score of ≥10 was significantly associated with multiparity (odds ratio [OR] =3.58; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13-11.30; P=0.030), pregnancy complications (OR =3.40; 95% CI: 1.03-11.26; P=0.045), labor complications (OR =11.43; 95% CI: 1.71-76.61; P=0.012), cesarean section (OR =4.19; 95% CI: 1.10-16.01; P=0.036), and incomplete breast-feeding (OR =5.00; 95% CI: 1.42-17.54; P=0.012). " 12/01/1995 - "A summary of the common problems of management of labor and labor complications is provided, including fetal monitoring during labor, augmentation of labor, vaginal delivery after cesarean section, epidural analgesia and its effects on delivery, and fecal incontinence after delivery."
4.	Surgical Instruments (Clip) 12/01/2014 - "Stepwise logistic regression confirmed that EA is a significant risk factor for labor complications in nulliparous women (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.03-1.58) and for forceps delivery in multiparous women (5.20, 95% CI 3.31-8.177). " 09/01/1999 - "The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, placenta previa, macrosomia, postdate pregnancy, and low Apgar scores was significantly higher in grand multiparas than in multiparas, whereas the proportion of induction, forceps delivery, and total labor complications was significantly lower than in the multiparous group (P <.05). " 08/01/2000 - "Labor complications increased from 40 to 42 weeks, including oxytocin induction (2% versus 35%, P <.001), length of labor (5.5 +/- 4.9 versus 8.8 +/- 6. 5 hours, P <.001), prolonged second stage of labor (2% versus 4%, P <.001), forceps use (6% versus 9%, P <.001), and cesarean delivery (7% versus 14%, P <.001). "
5.	Anesthesia 09/21/1973 - "[Use of paracervical anesthesia in labor complications]." 08/01/2011 - "In addition, splenectomy was significantly associated with pregnancy and labor complications, such as cesarean delivery, pneumonia during pregnancy, and complications of anesthesia and sedation during labor. " 10/01/1987 - "Apgar scores and umbilical cord blood gases were significantly influenced by labor complications (fetal distress, meconium, and pre-eclampsia), infant weight, type of cesarean delivery (primary vs. repeat), and type of anesthesia.
