Immediate compared with delayed oxytocin after amniotomy labor induction in parous women a randomized controlled trial
OBJECTIVE: To compare immediate with delayed (4 hours) oxytocin infusion after amniotomy on vaginal delivery within 12 hours and patient satisfaction with the birth process. METHODS: Parous women with favorable cervixes after amniotomy for labor induction were randomized to immediate titrated oxytoc...

R Medicine RG Gynecology and obstetrics OBJECTIVE: To compare immediate with delayed (4 hours) oxytocin infusion after amniotomy on vaginal delivery within 12 hours and patient satisfaction with the birth process. METHODS: Parous women with favorable cervixes after amniotomy for labor induction were randomized to immediate titrated oxytocin or placebo intravenous infusion in a double-blind noninferiority trial. After 4 hours, study infusions were stopped, the women were assessed, and open-label oxytocin was started if required. Maternal satisfaction with the birth process was assessed with a 10-point visual numerical rating scale (lower score, greater satisfaction). RESULTS: Vaginal delivery rates at 12 hours were 91 of 96 (94.8) compared with 91 of 94 (96.8) (relative risk 0.98, 95 confidence interval CI 0.92-1.04, P=.72), and maternal satisfaction on a visual numerical rating scale (median interquartile range) was 3 3-4 compared with 3 3-5, P=.36 for immediate compared with delayed arm, respectively). Cesarean delivery, maternal fever, postpartum hemorrhage, uterine hyperactivity, and adverse neonatal outcome rates were similar between arms. The immediate oxytocin arm had a shorter amniotomy-to-delivery interval of 5.3 +/- 3.1 compared with 6.9 +/- 2.9 hours (P<001) and lower epidural analgesia rate of 2.9% compared with 9.9% (relative risk 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-1.0, P=.046), but fetal heart rate abnormalities on cardiotocogram were higher, 28.6% compared with 16.8% (relative risk 1.7 95% CI 1.0-2.9, P=.048). In the delayed arm, oxytocin infusion was avoided by 35.6%.
