Methods for induction
Oxytocin, with or without amniotomy and prostaglandin can
be used for labor induction. However, the concurrent use of
prostaglandins and oxytocin is associated with myometrial
hyperstimulation leading to tachycardia, non-reassuring
CTGs and uterine rupture. It is therefore advisable that in
case of pharmacological induction, especially with prostaglandins,
fetal heart rate should be routinely monitored.
