5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Cervical insufficiency is defined as painless cervical dilation in the second trimester. Cervical insufficiency can ultimately lead to second trimester loss of pregnancy. Cerclages are utilized in pregnancies affected by cervical insufficiency in order to prolong gestational latency. There have been several studies investigating the efficacy of perioperative medications for cerclage placement and the effects they have on gestational latency. Some such studies have found that perioperative indomethacin in combination with antibiotics have significantly increased gestational latency when compared to placebo. Indomethacin has traditionally been the tocolytic of choice with cerclage placement. At our hospital, ibuprofen has been the tocolytic of choice for cerclage placement secondary to pharmacy availability. Our study aims to evaluate whether gestational latency differs among patients undergoing emergent cerclage whether they receive perioperative ibuprofen or indomethacin.

Intervention Name(s)
Indomethacin 150mg
Intervention Description
Patients will be randomized to either received perioperative indomethacin or ibuprofen at the time of their emergent cerclage placement for 24 hours following surgery. Patient will be followed up through our electronic medical record system to determine gestational latency to evaluate if ibuprofen is inferior to indomethacin.
