Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
compare effect of dexamethasone alone or in combination with hyoscine butylbromide on the duration of labour. In group A, 50 women will receive intramuscular 2 ml dexamethasone (8mg) 6 hours before induction of labour then intramuscular 2 ml saline with the beginning of active phase. In group B,50 women will receive intramuscular 2 ml dexamethasone (8mg) 6 hours before induction of labour then intramuscular 2 ml hyoscine butylbromide (40 mg) with the beginning of active phase. induction of labour will be done by using the following protocol; 2.5 mIU/min of oxytocin intravenous drip (in 500 mL lactated Ringer’s solution), with the dose increased by 2.5 mIU/ml every 20min till labour Establishment

Summary
Brief summary
Objective: To evaluate the impact of intramuscular (IM) dexamethasone alone or in combination of hyoscine butylbromide (HBB) on the duration of induced labour in Primigravida.
Study Design: A randomized Single-blind placebo controlled study.
Setting: The Obstetrics and Gynecology casuality department of Kasr El Aini hospital (Cairo University).
Methodology: 150 primigravidas with singleton living healthy fetus undergo induction of labour (IOL) will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomized into 3 groups: group A in which 50 women received IM dexamethasone (8mg) 6 hours before IOL then IM 2 ml saline with the beginning of active phase, group B in which 50 women received IM dexamethasone (8mg) 6 hours before IOL then IM HBB (40 mg) with the beginning of active phase & group C (control group) in which 50 women received two IM saline injections (2 mL) 6 hours before IOL & with the beginning of active phase.
For all patients, full history will be taken followed by complete physical examination & obstetric ultrasound. IOL will be done by using the following protocol; 2.5 mIU/min of oxytocin intravenous drip (in 500 mL lactated Ringer’s solution), with the dose increased by 2.5 mIU/ml every 20min till labour Establishment. Only patients will be blinded to the contents of syringes. Amniotomy will be done at cervical dilatation equal to 6 cm if spontaneous rupture of membranes does not occur. Participants will be monitored in bed together with fetal wellbeing surveillance using continuous CTG monitoring. A partogram will be maintained throughout labour and vaginal examinations will be conducted & recorded every 2 hours. primary outcomes will include comparing the duration of the latent phase of labour & the duration of active phase of labour among the three groups.
