We observed the influence of commonly used oxytocin infusion for inducing labor on the fetal heart rate (FHR). The FHR was analyzed on-line by Sonicaid Computer System 8000. There were no statistical changes in all analyzed parameters during infusion of oxytocin. Our study shows that the standard dosage of oxytocin used for induction of labor has no negative influence on the FHR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
