Induction of labor in eclampsia
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1953Abstract Five cases of eclampsia have been presented in which labor was successfully induced and completed by the use of Pitocin. The use of Pitocin induction is recommended only during intercurrent eclampsia or possibly for eclampsia with complications, provided the eclamptic symptoms can be controlled for an adequate time to permit labor and ...

Oxytocin for Induction of Labor
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2006Oxytocin is the most common pharmacologic agent used for the induction and augmentation of labor. Oxytocin protocols can be divided into high-dose and low-dose protocols depending on the initial dose and the amount and rate of sequential increase in dose.

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000
Induction of labor has increased from 9% to 18% of all U.S. deliveries in recent years. Several useful oxytocin induction protocols are available, both from the ACOG Practice Bulletin #10 and institutional sources. Higher-dose protocols tend to result in fewer cesarean deliveries for dystocia but more "fetal distress." There is no consensus as to which

The hazards of elective induction of labor
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1958Abstract 1. 1. A review of 6,860 cases of electively induced labors has been presented. 2. 2.

Indications for Induction of Labor
MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing, 1993Despite all the new technology, the research being conducted, and progress in the field of obstetrics, much controversy remains concerning the management of the high-risk patient and when--or whether--to induce labor. One factor complicating the discussion is that health centers vary in the services they offer. Many are small, lacking a high-risk labor

Normal Labor and the Induction and Augmentation of Labor
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1983The management of labor is based on a sound understanding of labor's biochemistry and physiology. The interaction between prostaglandin synthesis and other mechanisms postulated to control the initiation of labor shows promise, but the definitive explanation for the initiation of labor awaits further research.

MORBIDITY ASSOCIATED WITH INDUCTION OF LABOR
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1947Hamblenl states that we do not know why labor begins. Reynolds2 believes that the onset of labor is due to alterations in estrogen-pituitary-progestin balance influenced by uterine distention. The most helpful work comes from Lyon3 in his search to find changes concurrent with the initiation of labor.
