How long does it take for the oxytocin injection to react?

Every pregnant woman's labor force, birth canal and other conditions are different, and their sensitivity to oxytocin is also different. Therefore, there is no specific time for how long it will take to have a reaction after the labor-inducing injection. It can be as short as ten minutes or several hours, or as long as a few days. However, in clinical medicine, oxytocin is generally used for no more than three days.

1. The injection of oxytocin will increase the contraction of the pregnant woman's uterus, thereby accelerating the delivery process.

2. Every pregnant woman has a different sensitivity to oxytocin injections, so the effect of oxytocin injections is also different. An in-depth analysis should be made of the specific situation of the pregnant woman, and no uniform answer can be given as to how long it will take to choose a natural birth after taking an oxytocin injection.

3. Pregnant women should closely cooperate with the doctor's guidance and treatment suggestions, relax, do not be nervous, and use methods such as distraction to reduce the pain of childbirth. Family members should also do their best to comfort and support pregnant women, so as to complete the delivery successfully.

Methods and common problems of oxytocin-induced abortion surgery

Oxytocin induction surgery must strictly control its administration method, including the administration method, administration rate and concentration, and whether there are any contraindications to its medicinal value.

1. Indications and contraindications of oxytocin-induced labor and labor induction

Oxytocin is a cyclic octapeptide synthesized in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus pituitary and then metabolized from the posterior pituitary. It has a strong stimulating effect on the smooth muscle of the uterus, simulating the contraction of the uterus during normal delivery, causing the cervix to dilate.

2. Indications for induced labor

(1) Placental abruption, gestational age exceeding 37 weeks, rupture of membranes for more than 6 hours but no labor; (2) Post-term pregnancy; (3) Some cesarean section indications or complications have not responded satisfactorily to treatment, and the next pregnancy threatens the lives of the mother and the fetus and requires termination of pregnancy, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, and blood type incompatibility between the mother and the fetus; (4) Intrauterine fetal death.

3. Indications for induction of labor

The purpose of inducing labor is to speed up the progress of the delivery process and prevent dystocia. For primary or secondary uterine atony, oxytocin can be used to induce labor after the obstructive factors are eliminated.
