All of the following are true about augmentation of labor except:
Twin pregnancy precludes the use of oxytocin
Amniotomy decreases the need for oxytocin use
Methods of augmentation does not increase the risk of operational management
Associated with a risk of uterine hyper stimulation
Answer- A. Twin pregnancy precludes the use of oxytocin'Augmentation of labour is the process of stimulating the uterus to increase the frequency, duration and intensity of contractions after the onset of spontaneous labour. It has commonly been used to treat delayed labour when poor uterine contractions are assessed to be the underlying cause. The traditional methods of labour augmentation have been with the use of intravenous ocytocin infusion and aificial rupture of the membranes (amniotomy).
