J. Bartnicki et al., COMPUTER-ANALYSIS OF FETAL HEART-RATE DURING INDUCTION OF LABOR WITH OXYTOCIN, Gynecologic and obstetric investigation, 40(3), 1995, pp. 168-173
We observed the influence of commonly used oxytocin infusion for induc
ing labor on the fetal heart rate (FHR). The FHR was analyzed on-line
by Sonicaid Computer System 8000. There were no statistical changes in
all analyzed parameters during infusion of oxytocin. Our study shows
that the standard dosage of oxytocin used for induction of labor has n
o negative influence on the FHR.
