Oxytocin effects on baby’s heart rate during labor

This study looks at how oxytocin, a medication that helps labor contractions, affects the second stage of labor. It may help researchers understand what leads to safer and smoother delivery for first-time mothers.

This trial tests whether giving a preventive dose of ephedrine during spinal/epidural pain relief helps keep your baby’s heart rate tracing reassuring and reduces strong uterine tightening. It may be considered for people already planning labor analgesia with spinal/epidural anesthesia.

This study looks at how oxytocin (a medicine often used to help with labor and uterine contractions) moves through the body and what it does during a non-emergency C-section. It may help improve how oxytocin is used in the future for safer, more predictable delivery care.

This trial compares two ways of giving oxytocin (a medicine that helps the uterus contract) during a C-section done under spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which method has less effect on your heart rate and blood pressure.

This trial tests whether a continuous oxytocin infusion during a C-section helps maintain labor progress in people already receiving oxytocin. It may help reduce labor-related complications, but only if you meet the safety requirements for anesthesia and pregnancy conditions.

This study looks at when oxytocin is started during the pushing phase of labor to understand if timing affects outcomes for the mother and baby.
