The relationship of oxytocin and its receptor is crucial in obtaining adequate uterine activity and thus inducing active labor. Due to this very balanced relationship, a question exists about the optimal regimen of oxytocin administration for induction of labor and on how long to continue oxytocin once active labor begins. Some literature suggests that once in the active phase of labor oxytocin may be discontinued without altering the progression of labor. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is an increased rate of cesarean delivery in women undergoing induction of labor when oxytocin is discontinued in the active phase of labor.
