Filter by:1 Materials and methods 1.1 Subjects From September 2021 to August 2022, the patients who received induction of labor by cervical double balloon combined with oxytocin in a Grade III A Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Changsha were included in the study. A double balloon and oxytocin induced labor at a tertiary maternal and child health centre in Changsha. Inclusion criteria: 1 age ≥18 years; 2 Singleton; 3 no vaginal infection, fetal membranes intact; 4 according with the indication of induced labor [5] ; These included delayed pregnancy, hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, cervical Bishop score < 6, and negative oxytocin provocation test (Oct) . The exclusion criteria were: 1 abnormal head and pelvis, unable to be delivered vaginally; 2 twins; 3 maternal contraindication of vaginal delivery; 4 severe placental dysfunction, unable to tolerate vaginal delivery; 5 there were contraindications for the use of cervical balloon. 1.2 Methods 1.2.1 Operation Method First of all, pregnant women to introduce the procedure of placing the balloon, ease their fear, tension. Assist the patient to take the stone position, sterilize vulva 3 times, spread aseptic towel, expose cervix with vaginal speculum, sterilize vagina and cervix 3 times with iodine cotton ball, after sterilizing the cervical tube 3 times with iodine-complexed cotton swab, insert the disposable dilatation balloon (Henan Bonding Industry Co., Ltd., Yusheng Medical Supervision Machine No. 20180029, model: Type II 18F) into the cervical tube, until the two sacs into the cervical canal and ensure that the double sacs are through the cervical mouth, sub-turn to the cervical inside and outside sacs slowly injected saline 80 ml each. The end of the balloon catheter was fixed to the inner thigh of the pregnant woman with 3m adhesive tape, without restricting the physical activity of the pregnant woman. The operation process is smooth, the pregnant woman has no discomfort, before and after the operation monitoring fetal heart is normal, instructs the pregnant woman to test the fetal movement, closely observes the pregnant woman labor sign and the fetal intrauterine situation. The balloon is usually inserted between 16:00 and 18:00. The balloon is taken out at 8:00 am the next day, oxytocin (Ringe 500ml + oxytocin 2.5 U) was given intravenously to the patients who were not in Labor 1 hour after rupture of membranes. According to the frequency of uterine contractions, if there is no uterine contractions, increase the rate of dripping 8 drops/min, maximum dose not more than 40 drops, until regular uterine contractions, after every half-hour assessment. 1.2.2 Observation indicators Using the hospital electronic medical record information system to search and review the medical records of these women, the age, number of pregnancies, number of parturients, weight gain during pregnancy, height, weight, pre-and post-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) , indication of induced labor, pregnancy complications, gestational age at the time of balloon induced labor, neonatal weight, cervical Bishop score before and after balloon dilatation, occurrence of acute Chorioamnionitis, fetal distress, NST typing, mode of delivery, etc. . The clinical data of the patients who were induced by cervical double balloon combined with oxytocin were analyzed, and the related factors of pregnancy outcome were also discussed. 1.3 Statistical credits SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the data. The mean ± standard deviation was used for statistical description and t-test was used for statistical analysis. The frequency was used for statistical description and chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influencing factors of different pregnancy modes, and the difference was statistically significant with P < 0.05.
This study recruited healthy volunteers and randomly divided them into four groups. They inhaled oxytocin or saline, and watched a pain test video with photos of acquaintances or strangers, respectively, to test whether their feelings of the same thermal pain stimulus had changed.
This study aims to determine the feasibility and preliminary data on the interaction between oxytocin and cortisol during stress in borderline personnality disorder.
The investigators explored the neural and behavioral effect of oxytocin on youth with Autism spectrum disorder using magnetoencephalography (MEG). The investigators hypothesize that oxytocin will modulate neural activity to resemble patterns observed in the age-matched control group. Thirty-two adolescents with autism and 26 typically developing adolescents participated in this randomized, double-blind MEG study. Individuals with autism arrived at the lab twice and received an acute dose of intranasal oxytocin or placebo in each session. During the scans, participants were asked to complete several tasks related to social perception - such as identification of social and non-social stimuli.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of oxytocin massage and music performed immediately after birth on breastfeeding.
Syntocinon was granted marketing authorization in France in 1970. Since the 1960s, it has been frequently used during childbirth, particularly in cases of stagnation of cervical dilatation due to a lack of uterine contractility. According to the latest National Perinatal Survey of 2010, 66.5% of patients go into labor spontaneously and 58% of them receive Syntocinon during labor. The reported maternal effects associated with the use of synthetic oxytocin include uterine hyperactivity, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and severe PPH. The administration of oxytocin increases the risk of uterine hyperactivity in a dose-dependent manner. Regarding fetal risk, the reported adverse effects concern fetal heart rate abnormalities related to uterine hyperactivity. However, no study has shown an association between oxytocin administration and excess neonatal morbidity and mortality, except in the subpopulation of patients with a scarred uterus.
The purpose of this study is to specifically investigate whether oxytocin and mechanical dilation decreases the rate of cesarean section compared to misoprostol and mechanical dilation for pregnancies at risk of fetal compromise
Aim: This study has been planned as an observational study. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of labor induction with oxytocin on early postpartum hemorrhage, perineal integrity and breastfeeding. Materials and Methods: The sample consists of 88 healthy mother and infant pairs. The mothers in the case group will receive oxytocin induction before and after delivery. On the other hand, the mothers in the control group will not receive any oxytocin induction before delivery, and will receive oxytocin induction in the end of delivery. Data were collected by using the Personal Information Form, the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Scale, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, the follow-up bag for postpartum hemorrhage, and episiotomy healing assessment known as the REEDA Scale.
The study aims to examine a behavioral and neural framework for understanding the sex-specific effects of the neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT). Using hormonal, behavioral and neuroimaging readouts, it is planned to explore the interplay of OXT and estradiol as a potential mechanism mediating sexual dimorphic effects.
This study evaluates the need of oxytocin therapy in active phase of labor. there will be two groups treating with oxytocin in latent phase.One group will be treated with low dose oxytocin therapy and the other group will be treated with high dose oxytocin therapy. oxytocin treatment will be ceased at the beginning of the active phase of labor. the need of oxytocin treatment in active phase of labor will be compared between two groups.
