Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare oxytocin infusion rates for induction and augmentation of labor in nulliparous women. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect length of induction to delivery interval? - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect mode of delivery? - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect maternal and neonatal outcomes? Participants will be randomized to either low- or high-dose oxytocin groups: - The low dose group will receive an infusion to start at 2 milli-units/min and will be increased by 2 milli-units/min every 20 minutes. The maximum rate of infusion is 40 milli-units/min. - The high dose group will receive an infusion to start at 6 milli-units/min and will be increased by 6 milli-units/min every 20 minutes. Maximum rate of infusion is 40 milli-units/min.
