History of Changes
  Purpose

Hyponatremia during labour has been associated with prolonged labour, and increased incidence of instrumental delivery and emergency caesarean section. Sodium influx in myometral cells are involved in contractility,and and influence of hyponatraemia on contractility can be suspected.


Condition
Hyponatremia

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Will Reduction in Plasma Sodium Reduce Myometrium Contractility in Humans? An Invitro Study of Pregnant Myometrium at Term.

Further study details as provided by Karolinska University Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Contractility [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Contractility will be measured, and data analyzed.


Biospecimen Retention:   None Retained

Biopsies of pregant myometrium


Estimated Enrollment: 30
Study Start Date: October 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

Biopsies will be obtained from pregnant women undergoing planned caesarean section at term. The biopsies will divided into 3 strips that will be stored overnight in chilled NaCl 0.9%. The following morning each strip will be mounted isometrically with one end fixed to a holder and the other end to a force transducer. One strip will be maintained in a solution containing 140mmol/L Na,acting as control, whereas the other two strips will be placed in fluids with diminishing Na concentration, from 140 mmol/L, to 130 mmol/L and 120 mmol/L. Contractility will be measured with force transducers and a polygraph
