Active Management of Labour and Occipito‐Posterior Position
Kieran O'Driscoll,J. M. Stronge +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the occipito‐posterior position has been reduced to a low level of clinical significance in current practice.

Augmentation of labour.
Ashraf Nabhan,Michel Boulvain +1 more
TL;DR: The current best practice for different methods of augmentation of labour, namely, artificial rupture of membranes and oxytocin infusion as a prevention of, or therapy for, prolonged labour, are covered.

Surgical Induction of Labour With and Without Oxytocin Infusion: A Prospective Study
TL;DR: This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of simultaneous oxytocin infusion in physiological doses in patients in whom amniotomy had been performed to induce labour.

Sagittal suture overlap in cephalopelvic disproportion: blinded and non-participant assessment.
Eckhart Buchmann,Elena Libhaber +1 more
TL;DR: Assessment of sagittal suture overlap, but not lambdoid suture overlaps, is useful for prediction of cephalopelvic disproportion in South African high‐risk obstetric unit women, and may assist in decisions on clinical management where there is poor progress in a trial of labor.

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.
