Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The goal of induction of labour would be to produce contractions that occur every 2 to 3 minutes and last 80 to 90 seconds.The intensity of the contractions should be strong upon palpation.Cervical dilation of 1 cm/hr in the active phase of labour would be the goal in an oxytocin induction.The dose is increased by 1 to 2 mU/min every 30 minutes until the desired contraction pattern is achieved.Oxytocin 80 mU/min is much too high of a dose.
