Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

After ultrasound-indicated cerclage, some pregnant women still experience sPTB, and there is controversy regarding the use of tocolytic agents during the perioperative period to reduce the incidence of sPTB. In this study, the investigators employed a randomized double-blind method to investigate whether the use of atosiban during the perioperative period can reduce the incidence of sPTB before 34 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Atosiban

Intervention Type DRUG

Women in the atosiban group received i.v. atosiban (Manufacturer: Pfizer, Germany) 30 min before the surgery with a bolus dose of 6.75 mg, and the infusion was continued with an infusion rate of 18 mg/h for 3 h. The dose of atosiban was then reduced to 6 mg/h for another 45 h.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Normal saline

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants in the placebo group received only normal saline infusion for the same duration as atosiban group.
