Labor Induction After Cesarean Section: Outcome, Hormonal Trends

changes in labour-associated maternal and fetal hormone levels

Maternal serum levels of: oxytocin (pg/mL) were analyzed at 0, 3 and 6 hours post induction initiation (T1, T2, T3) - in two induction groups: catheter balloon and breast stimulation groups the above mentioned parameter was measured also in the third study group: women in their latent phase admitted to the delivery room - the parameter was measured at 0,3,6 hours post admission this parameter was also measured in fetal umbilical cord (F) in women of the three study groups each parameter presented above were reported separately for each group (median at T1, T2, T3 and F) and compared between the three groups inter and intra groups changes were examined

Time frame: at 0, 3 and 6 hours post induction initiation or at controls during the latent phase
