Comparison of the mean minimum dose of bolus oxytocin for proper uterine contraction during cesarean section.

CONCLUSION: Since the minimum effective dose of oxytocin in elective cesarean section was 1IU, and in those in labor progress was 1-1.5IU, less oxytocin administration represent a lesser side effect for the patients. It is recommended that patients who are candidates for cesarean section should be administered with about 1.5IU of oxytocin in the form of bolus. PMID: 31124424 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
