Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: This study was conducted to study the safety and efficacy of oxytocin for induction of labour. This study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Government Medical College, Aurangabad over a period of one year. Sixty-two patients of high risk and complicated pregnancies were induced with intravenous oxytocin in drip. Number of vaginal deliveries achieved, induction to vaginal delivery interval, incidence of caesarean section for fetal distress, failed induction, side effects and neonatal outcome were studied. The mean induction delivery interval as well as incidence of caesarean section was lower in patients with a good Bishop score and vice versa. Fetal outcome was good with a very low incidence of neonatal jaundice. There were no perinatal deaths. Intravenous oxytocin in drip is of immense value in induction of labour with very few neonatal and maternal complications.
