Abstract:
IBC-3 computer-based automated system was used to analyze the cardiotocograms obtained in the course of 40 induced labors. Labor was induced by amniotomy in Group 1 parturients, by a combined method (amniotomy followed by i.v. droplet infusions of oxytocin and enzaprost) in Group 2 patients. No significant differences between the two groups were observed. Uterine contractility parameters were higher in Group 2. Clinical and computer-aided cardiotocographic investigations revealed no unfavorable effects of the before methods of labor induction on the mother, fetus, and newborn.
