Minimum effective bolus dose of oxytocin during elective Caesarean delivery.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the lowest effective bolus dose of oxytocin to produce adequate uterine tone (UT) during elective Caesarean delivery (CD).

The purpose of this study was to estimate the minimum effective intravenous bolus dose of oxytocin (ED90) required for adequate uterine contraction a...

متن کاملTiming of repeat elective caesarean delivery and neonatal respiratory outcomes.
Compared with other industrialised countries, Italy has one of the highest caesarean delivery rates, which increased from 26.1% in 1995 to 38.3% in 2005. While the overall effect of this mode of delivery on neonatal respiratory outcomes among term newborns is well known, few studies have compared the impact of gestational age at delivery on respiratory morbidity (ie, at 37 and 38 weeks’ gestati...
متن کاملOBSTETRICS Haemodynamic effects of repeated doses of oxytocin during Caesarean delivery in healthy parturients
Results. Twenty women required a second bolus of oxytocin 5 u. Both the first and the second doses produced clinically and statistically significant haemodynamic changes, but the haemodynamic changes induced by the second dose were smaller than after the first dose. The mean maximal change in CO after the first and second doses were 94% (CI 70–117) and 42% (CI 33–52), respectively (P,0.0001), a...
