A randomized control study of oxytocin augmentation of labour. 1. Obstetric outcome
K. A. Bidgood,PJ Steer +1 more
TL;DR: Cervical dilatation rate increased significantly after oxytocin infusion in both treatment groups compared with controls and the‘delay‐to‐delivery’interval and second stage duration were significantly shorter in the high‐dose group than in the control group.

Package of care for active management in labour for reducing caesarean section rates in low‐risk women
TL;DR: Active management is associated with small reductions in the CS rate, but it is highly prescriptive and interventional, and it is possible that some components of the active management package are more effective than others.

Accuracy of cervical assessment in the active phase of labour
Eckhart Buchmann,Elena Libhaber +1 more
TL;DR: To determine accuracy of clinicians in estimating cervical dilatation during the active phase of labour and how this is affected by clinician experience and obstetric factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obstetric consequences of postmaturity.
TL;DR: It is suggested that primiparas who go postterm often have increased uterine dysfunction, which accounts for the increase in the cesarean section rate and is a partial explanation for "failed" inductions.

Prevention of Prolonged Labour
TL;DR: Stimulation, properly supervised, is safe to mother and child, it eliminates the problem of occipitoposterior position, results in a sharp decline in forceps delivery, and obviates the need for massive analgesia.

Induction of labour. II. Intravenous oxytocin infusion.
A C Turnbull,A B Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: D’Esopo, Moore and Lenzi (1964) have shown that with a favourable cervix, with the vertex dipping into the pelvis and in the absence of cephalo-pelvic disproportion, the risks of elective induction of labour with a dilute oxytocin drip are no greater, and may be even less than, spontaneously occurring labour in a similar group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pitocin drip.
TL;DR: A careful perusal of the literature on the pitocin drip finds that the most physiological responses in severe primary uterine inertia have actually been obtained by giving an intravenous infusion of normal saline containing either 10 or 20 units of pitcin to the liter.
Journal Article
Monitoring of labor by graphs.
TL;DR: This analysis of 1000 such labor graphs, including 500 primigravidas and 500 multigravida, supports the viewpoint that they are precise guides for the management of abnormal labors.
