Abstract |
A major cause of failure to achieve spontaneous vaginal birth is delay in labour caused by presumed inefficient uterine action. High dose may potentially increase the number of spontaneous vaginal births, but as oxytocin can cause hyperstimulation of the uterus, there is a possibility of increased adverse events. |
