Paracervical Block With Ketorolac and Lidocaine for Osmotic Dilator Placement
This study tests whether a ketorolac and lidocaine injection around the cervix improves pain control for people needing osmotic dilators before a second-trimester abortion.
-
Using cervical ripening balloons for outpatient dilation and evacuation
This study is testing if using cervical ripening balloons is as safe and acceptable as osmotic dilators for preparing women before a same-day outpatient dilation and evacuation procedure.
-
Tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding during second-trimester dilation and evacuation
We will test whether giving prophylactic tranexamic acid before a second-trimester dilation and evacuation reduces bleeding for people aged 18 and older at 18–24 weeks of pregnancy.
