Does Induction Dosage in Latent Phase Affect Active Phase of Labor?
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the need of oxytocin therapy in active phase of labor. there will be two groups treating with oxytocin in latent phase.One group will be treated with low dose oxytocin therapy and the other group will be treated with high dose oxytocin therapy. oxytocin treatment will be ceased at the beginning of the active phase of labor. the need of oxytocin treatment in active phase of labor will be compared between two groups.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Oxytocin treatment in active phase of labour is used with respect to clinicians preference and best approach has not been described. We want to investigate the effect of oxytocin treatment by using different regims in latent phase of labor when oxytocin treatment is ceased in active phase of labour. In our trial we discontinued oxytocin in active phase of labour and investigate which group needs oxytocin therapy due to inadequate uterine contractions and arrest of labor.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: low dose group oxytocin therapy starting with 2mU/min increased by 2 mU/min every 15 minutes. oxytocin will be stopped at the beginning of the active phase of labor. |
Drug: oxytocin
one group will be treated with low dose oxytocin and the other group will be treated with high dose oxytocin for augmentation of labor induction.
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: high dose group oxytocin therapy starting with 4mU/min increased by 4 mU/min every 15 minutes. oxytocin will be stopped at the beginning of the active phase of labor. |
Drug: oxytocin
one group will be treated with low dose oxytocin and the other group will be treated with high dose oxytocin for augmentation of labor induction.
