Currently OT protocols vary throughout hospitals. Both low and high dose regimens as outlined by the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists are appropriate for labor induction. At our facility intravenous OT is started at 1-2 milliunits per minute and increased by 2 milliunits every 15 minutes until obtaining normal progression of labor usually at 150-300 Montevideo units on the contraction monitor. Low dose regimens with less frequent increases in dose are associated with decreased hyperstimulation. However use of high-dose oxytocin has not been found to increase the incidence of birth asphyxia or perinatal morbidity.
