چکیده

The objective of this study was to compare the course of parturitions induced with sole oxytocin with those induced with the combination of intracervical prostaglandin E2 jelly and oxytocin. For this purpose 13 mares in advanced pregnancy were allocated to the groups pretreated with either intracervical PGE2 (experimental group) or saline (control group) two hours before intravenous oxytocin (5 IU) administration. The mares were compared with respect to cervical dilation diameter (CDD) 20 min. after oxytocin injection. Time intervals from the first oxytocin dose to: the first external signs of parturition, the chorioallantois rupture, the delivery of a foal and time interval from the delivery of a foal to the placenta separation were measured. Cervical dilatation diameter as well as proportion of mares with cervical dilatation > 20 cm were significantly higher in the group of PGE2 treated mares comparing with control group (p = 0.0115 and p = 0.0490, respectively). All time intervals measured were statistically insignificant for both groups of mares, however time intervals from the first oxytocin dose to the first external signs of parturition, to the allantochorion rupture and to the delivery of a foal, were very close to the significance level (alpha = 0.05). To conclude, PGE/oxytocin combination has positive influence on the preparation of the uterine cervix to parturition. Moreover, it seems that PGE2 pretreatment reduced total oxytocin dose for successful parturition induction and shortened time elapsing between the first oxytocin dose and the delivery of a foal what is crucial for foal's safety.

BACKGROUND Induction of labour is the intentional initiation of cervical ripening and uterine contraction for the purpose of accomplishing delivery, prior to onset of spontaneous parturition. This study was conducted to compare maternal and neonatal outcome in women induced with Prostaglandin E2 gel, Prostaglandin E2 pessary and extra-amniotic saline infusion with oxytocin at Bishops score < 5....

15-Keto-13,14-dihydroprostaglandin F2 alpha and prolactin in maternal and cord blood during prostaglandin E2 or oxytocin therapy for labor induction.

15-keto-13,14-dihydroprostaglandin F2 alpha plasma levels were measured in pregnant women following labor induction with either oral PGE2 treatment or intravenous oxytocin, both combined with amniotomy. The median time to start of contractions was 62 minutes in the PGE2 treated group and 45 minutes in the oxytocin treated group (p less than 0.01; median test). The increase in 15-ketodihydro-PGF...

Induction of labor compared with expectant management for prelabor rupture of the membranes at term. TERMPROM Study Group.

BACKGROUND As the interval between rupture of the fetal membranes at term and delivery increases, so may the risk of fetal and maternal infection. It is not known whether inducing labor will reduce this risk or whether one method of induction is better then another. METHODS We studied 5041 women with prelabor rupture of the membranes at term. The women were randomly assigned to induction of l...

INTRODUCTION: Various studies indicate that decreased oxytocin is involved as a mechanism of delayed ejaculation induced by SSRIs. The aim of the present pilot study was to evaluate and compare sexual dysfunction and oxytocin levels in women being treated with either fluoxetine or citalopram. METHODS: Thirty-nine women with the diagnoses of major depressive disorder were enrolled in the study. ...
