BACKGROUND: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) continues to be one of the major causes of maternal mortality and morbidity in obstetrics. Variations in practice often lead to adverse maternity outcomes following PPH. Our objective was to assess the current practice in managing PPH in the UK. METHODS: We performed a national multicenter prospective service evaluation study over one calendar month and compared the current performance to national standards for managing PPH...

The aim was to assess the efficacy of Syntometrine ® (500 micrograms ergometrine with 5 units oxytocin) as an appropriate alternative first-line uterotonic for use in elective caesarean section (CS) during a national shortage of UK-licensed IV oxytocin from April-June 2014. An observational study was performed involving 2 groups of 22 women undergoing elective CS in a UK DGH during this period. Primary endpoints included mean estimated blood loss (EBL), haemoglobin drop post-operatively and transfusion requirement...

BACKGROUND: Labour is a period of significant physical activity. The importance of carbohydrate intake to improve outcome has been recognised in sports medicine and general surgery. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of oral carbohydrate supplementation on labour outcomes. SEARCH STRATEGY: MEDLINE (1966-2014), Embase, the Cochrane Library and clinical trial registries. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials (RCT) of women randomised to receive oral carbohydrate in labour (<6 cm dilated), versus placebo or standard care...

Choice and patient involvement in decision-making are strong aspirations of contemporary healthcare. One of the most striking areas in which this is played out is maternity care where recent policy has focused on choice and supporting normal birth. However, birth is sometimes not straightforward and unanticipated complications can rapidly reduce choice. We draw on the accounts of women who experienced delay during labour with their first child. This occurs when progress is slow, and syntocinon is administered to strengthen and regulate contractions...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of carbetocin vs. oxytocin in the management of atonic post partum haemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery. METHODS: A prospective randomised study was conducted in which 100 pregnant women were randomised into 2 equal groups: group 1 received Carbetocin 100 µgm (Pabal(®) Ferring, UK) and group 2 received oxytocin 5 IU (Syntocinon(®), Novartis, Switzerland). RESULTS: The amount of blood loss and the need for other uterotonics were significantly lower in the carbetocin group (811 ± 389...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare 2 inductions of labor protocols. STUDY DESIGN: Women with live singleton pregnancies at ≥37 + 0 weeks gestation who were booked for prostaglandins 2 (PGE2) vaginal gel induction with a modified Bishop's score of <7 were eligible for inclusion. After an evening dose of PGE2 vaginal gel, women were assigned randomly the next morning into the amniotomy or repeat-PGE2 group. The amniotomy group underwent artificial rupture of membranes (ARM), regardless of modified Bishop's score, and received further PGE2 doses only if ARM was not technically possible...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and tolerability of 3 doses of intranasal oxytocin (Syntocinon; Novartis, Bern, Switzerland) administered to patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). METHODS: We conducted a randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using a dose-escalation design to test 3 clinically feasible doses of intranasal oxytocin (24, 48, or 72 IU) administered twice daily for 1 week to 23 patients with behavioral variant FTD or semantic dementia (clinicaltrials...

REVIEW

In this review we have looked at the evidence for the pharmacological treatment of lactation deficiency. Five RCTs (n = 166) of metoclopramide found no effect on lactation and two RCTs (n = 26) of older date and lesser quality found significant effect. One RCT (n = 51) of syntocinon found no effect on lactation and two older RCTs (n = 60) of lesser quality found significant effect. Three RCTs (n = 105) found significant effect of domperidone on lactation. Education on breastfeeding is important to avoid the need for pharmacological treatment...

INTRODUCTION: Breast milk has many advantages over formula for infants in developed and developing countries alike. Despite intentions of breastfeeding, some women develop insufficient lactation. Treatment options traditionally include breastfeeding education and pharmacotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An electronic questionnaire regarding treatment of insufficient lactation was sent to all obstetric departments (n = 21) and neonatal wards (n = 17) in Denmark. Three main questions were included which focused on: breastfeeding education for women, use of pharmacotherapy and availability of local guidelines...

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted with the aim to investigate and compare Iranian produced and foreign oxytocin for use in induction of labor. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This random clinical trial was conducted on a population of 198 pregnant women with live fetus and cephalic presentation and conditions conducive to induction of labor, monitored by obstetricians and gynecologists. They were randomly divided into group A (n = 99) received 10 units of Syntocinon (Novartis Pharma Canada) in 500 cc Ringer lactate, and group B (n = 99) received 10 units of Oxytip (Caspian Tamin Company Iran) in 500 cc serum, who entered the study to commence induction, by signing written consent...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of syntocinon augmentation on the fetal cardiotocogram (CTG) using computerised analysis. We hypothesised that syntocinon will have no direct effects on the fetal heart rate if used correctly. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective, nested case-control study. SETTING: Intrapartum CTG records from the digital archive at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK. SUBJECTS: 110 women with singleton pregnancies of >36 weeks gestation, no known congenital abnormality, spontaneous onset of labour and syntocinon augmentation for failure to progress, with start time of syntocinon recorded, from between August 1998 and December 1999, extensively matched to 110 controls who had normally progressing labours...

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of treatments targeting core symptom domains in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Several animal models and research in typically developing volunteers suggests that manipulation of the oxytocin system may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of social deficits. We review the literature for oxytocin and ASD and report on early dosing, safety and efficacy data of multi-dose oxytocin on aspects of social cognition/function, as well as repetitive behaviors and co-occurring anxiety within ASD...

BACKGROUND: Impairment of oxytocinergic function and/or oxytocin receptor genetic abnormalities has been demonstrated in patients with schizophrenia. Oxytocin reverses emotional recognition deficit and might restore sense of trust in patients with schizophrenia. Some short-term studies have shown efficacy and tolerability of oxytocin in patients with schizophrenia. However, there is a lack of evidence on the efficacy and tolerability of oxytocin in patients with schizophrenia beyond 3 weeks...

A 29-year-old woman, primigravida, had labour induced for post-maturity following an uncomplicated antenatal course. She requested an epidural prior to commencement of syntocinon. This was administered in the sitting position without complication. The midwife noted drooping of the right eyelid of the patient 6.5 h following insertion of the epidural. Blood pressure and CTG remained reassuring. The obstetric anaesthetist reviewed the labouring woman and noted a right-sided ptosis as well as the right cheek being flushed and dry...
