Continued versus discontinued oxytocin stimulation of labour
2021.02.10 |
| Date | Fri 05 Mar |
| Time | 14:00 — 16:00 |
| Location | Online via Zoom |
On Friday 5 March at 14:00, Sidsel Boie defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Continued versus discontinued oxytocin stimulation in the active phase of labour".
Approximately one fourth of all term pregnant women have their labour induced. This often includes oxytocin stimulation. The stimulation requires a delicate balance between the wish for progression of labour and the risks to the mother and the neonate. The most common adverse effect of oxytocin stimulation is the risk of hyperstimulation, which may affect the oxygen supply for the baby and lead to the need of immediate delivery. Different approaches to oxytocin administration have been suggested. The overall aim of the PhD was to explore the maternal and neonatal consequences of discontinued oxytocin stimulation versus continued stimulation for induction of labour, primaryli focusing on the caesarean delivery rate. The results will be presented and discussed at the defence.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place online via Zoom (https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/64600364870). Please read the attached press release for more information.
