Association between total oxytocin dose and maternal and neonatal morbidity during labour induction: a retrospective study
This study alerts to potential morbidity at oxytocin cumulative doses of 5 IU or greater, and so more likely at 10 IU, administered during induction of labour. Obstetric considerations and decisions should be guided by the co-factors of morbidity, in particular parity and need for cervical ripening.
