Induction of labour


C.J.T. Craig

Abstract

Desamino-oxytocin (ODA.914), used immediately after artificial rupture of the membranes, is a most satisfactory method of inducing labour. The induction - delivery  interval is shortened and more than 90% of patients are delivered within 12 hours. No untoward maternal or foetal side-effects were noted. The method allows of self administration by co-operative patients. It is readily accepted both by the patients and the supervising nursing staff.
