Study Summary
Artificial rupture of membranes (amniotomy) is a commonly used technique to safely induce and augment labor. It has been shown to reduce the duration of spontaneous and induced labor in term patients (≥37 weeks' gestation). The utility of amniotomy in preterm patients (\<37 weeks' gestation) undergoing medically-indicated induction of labor is unknown. However, it remains a commonly used strategy. We will conduct a trial comparing early amniotomy versus late amniotomy during medically-indicated induction of labor between 23.0 and 35.6 weeks gestation. Women will be randomized to early or late amniotomy after the obstetrician has decided to induce labor for a medical indication. We hypothesize that more women in the early amniotomy group will require cesarean delivery, and the duration of labor will increase in the early amniotomy group.
