    Journal: Cesk Gynekol; 1990 Feb; 55(1):12-20. PubMed ID: 2136408.
    Abstract:
    The authors made a retrospective investigation of 584 induced childbirth during the period between Jan. 1, 1982 and June 30 1987. In group I, i.e. induction by drop infusion of oxytocin without primary disruption of the sac they were successful in 59.2%. In group II, i.e. induction by oxytocin infusion 24 hours after escape of amniotic fluid without uterine activity or after previous disruption of the amniotic sac they were successful in 83.3%. Oxytocin was administered in doses of 3.5 million units/min. and increased after 15-minute intervals till regular uterine contractions were recorded. When the portion of the uterine cervix is mature, in group II success in 85% can be foreseen.
