Abstract

We observed the influence of commonly used oxytocin infusion for inducing labor on the fetal heart rate (FHR). The FHR was analyzed on-line by Sonicaid Computer System 8000. There were no statistical changes in all analyzed parameters during infusion of oxytocin. Our study shows that the standard dosage of oxytocin used for induction of labor has no negative influence on the FHR.
