“…There was no control group in two other studies (Cummiskey 1989; Xenakis 1995). Two trials were for induction labour, not augmentation (Gagnon-Gervais 2011; Selo-Ojeme 2009). Finally, in one study (Verkuyl 1986), there was no information on the inclusion or exclusion characteristics of the women.…”

“…In literature there is no clear indication about which of the two interventions should precede the other. Different studies report that early or late oxytocin administration after rupture of membranes reduce labour duration, thus favouring vaginal delivery (23). Other studies established there is no real difference in clinical outcomes between oxytocin administration with ruptured or intact membranes (24).…”

Dystocia in labour: diagnosis, management and culture of Italian midwives

et al. 2021

Objective. Dystocia in labour is the most common indication for primary caesarean sections. We have investigated how Italian midwives are informed and aware of the diagnosis of dystocia in labour, which strategies they implement and how their culture can affect clinical decisions. Methods. Purpose-built questionnaire using convenience sampling on a voluntary basis. The research was carried out on a population of Italian midwives. The questionnaire was divided into three macro-areas: socio-demographic information; a clinical case with decision questions; operators' knowledge and clinical choices. Results. 300 questionnaires were collected, and 289 were analysed. 60% of midwives would have not diagnosed active labour before 6 cm of dilation and would have adopted conservative management. 81% would adopt methods such as change of maternal posture, movement, and emotional support to solve dystocia rather than oxytocin and artificial rupture of membranes. 76% is aware that there is no single definition of dystocia, 80% do not know the definition of latent phase. The discussion on dystocia is rarely addressed in a context such as an audit. Conclusions. Culture considered as experience, knowledge, and work context, could affect clinical practice. Most midwives showed interest in the subject by tackling it with a view that was mainly physiological. The need for training and structured discussion meetings is, in any case, important.

“…The immediate versus delayed use of an oxytocin infusion after amniotomy for the purpose of IOL was compared in a small randomised controlled trial (RCT) in 2009. The likelihood of being in established labour 4 hours after amniotomy, and having a shorter amniotomy‐to‐delivery interval, was higher in the immediate infusion group . A more recent RCT compared immediate and delayed (4 hours) oxytocin use in parous women and found that both options were reasonable, thus the decision should be based on local resources and maternal choice …”

The advantages and disadvantages of pharmacological methods and mechanical methods (such as the osmotic cervical dilator Dilapan-S â and Foley catheter) for labour induction are discussed. This article looks at the international and local (UK) experience with use of Dilapan-S â for cervical ripening. The Cochrane and Royal College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians (RCOG) statements with regards to use of mechanical dilators are referenced. Learning objectivesTo know the past, current and future trends in cervical ripening for labour induction. To understand that mechanical methods (e.g. Dilapan-S â and Foley catheter) offer similar efficacy and better safety compared to PGE2.

A randomised controlled trial of amniotomy and immediate oxytocin infusion versus amniotomy and delayed oxytocin infusion for induction of labour at term

Abstract: In induction of labour at term, amniotomy and immediate oxytocin infusion is associated with the establishment of active labour at 4 h, a shorter amniotomy-delivery interval and greater maternal satisfaction.
