Abstract
Dystocia literally means hard work, and is described by an abnormally slow progress in labor. High dose oxytocin clearly have several advantages, when used for ineffective spontaneous labor, following rupture of membranes in primigravida. This study is to determine the efficacy and safety of high dose versus low dose oxytocin in augmentation of labour on mode of delivery. High or low-dose oxytocin may be utilized to improve induced labour although there is little support for supporting high-dose.
Keywords: High dose oxytocin, low dose oxytocin, augmentation, dystocia.
