Currently used oxytocin regimen outcome measures at term & postterm. I: Outcome indicators in relation to parity & indication for induction.

摘要: INTRODUCTION Although induction of labour with oxytocin is a daily practice at public as well private health institutions, to the best our knowledge, there no published study on in Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE To assess dose required achieve adequate uterine contraction, time interval between initiation and contraction achieved lapsed vaginal delivery. METHODOLOGY A two-year retrospective case-series was done evaluate currently used regimen outcome measures Gandhi St. Paul's hospitals. Oxytocin level milliunit/minute establish deliver vaginally, Bishop Score, indications for were some variables included. RESULTS Five hundred fifty two women induced term post (55.8% nulliparas 44.2% multiparas) reviewed overall elective emergency ratio about 1:1. The first three (P < 0.05), premature rupture fetal membranes hypertension = 0.005). Spontaneous vertex delivery (46.4%), caesarean section failed (28.4%) distress (9.6%) top modes both multiparas. Equal proportion multiparas established (84.1% vs 84.8%) mean mu/min 33.6 +/- 21.9 17.2 11.4 hours 2:10 1:30 1:10 respectively. More than two-thirds multiparous half nulliparous contractions 20-mu/min less infusion among total (84.4%) who diagnosed have contractions. CONCLUSION starting, increment maximum different but parallel almost comparable. Very high wasn't superior dose.
