Oxytocin to Induce Labor

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
Oxytocin is a highly successful and safe agent for inducing labor and has a fairly large therapeutic index. It has, however, minimal, but not trivial, antidiuretic and vascular activity when used in large doses. Therefore, to induce labor, low-dose oxytocin dosing regimens that produce efficacious uterine activity and avoid side effects are recommended.

Inducing Labor by Rupturing Membranes

Postgraduate Medicine, 1968
Rupturing the membranes usually induces labor and carries little risk. Of 1,235 patients subjected to amniotomy, 89 percent were in labor in four hours, and only 3 percent required oxytocin to start contractions. Although complications are few, physicians should not rupture the membranes simply for their own or the patient's convenience.

Outcomes of induced versus spontaneous labor

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2016

This study compared duration of labor, mode of delivery, quantity of blood loss, type of perineal outcome and neonatal outcomes between women in induced labor and women in spontaneous labor, both on epidural analgesia (administered at cervical dilation  ≤ 4 cm).In a

Reproductive performance after prostaglandin-induced labor

Prostaglandins, 1977
The data of this follow-up study fail to prove that elective induction of labor at term by amniotomy and intravenously or orally administered PGF2alpha or PGE2 has an untoward effect on reproductive performance. If, however, the procedure is complicated by a serious degree of sustained uterine hyperstimulation, permanent damage to the internal cervical
