The effect of oxytocin on pregnant mommy's organs at a general dose is very small and can be ignored. However, if a large dose of oxytocin is used, it may cause high blood pressure, rapid pulse and water retention, so doctors need to conduct a comprehensive examination to determine whether pregnant mommy can use oxytocin drugs.
Never mind, don't worry.
Oxytocin is the so-called "induced labor needle", which can selectively excite uterine smooth muscle and cause uterine contraction. It is a strong uterine contractile agent, which is mainly used for inducing labor, inducing labor and preventing postpartum hemorrhage. Intravenous infusion of oxytocin 1 min can take effect, so the dosage can be controlled by adjusting the infusion speed, thus controlling the intensity of uterine contraction. If used properly in the process of delivery, it can play a very good role in inducing labor or strengthening uterine contraction, also known as promoting labor, which is widely used in clinic. However, when using oxytocin to induce labor, we must strictly master its medication methods, including the route, speed and concentration of medication, and whether there are any contraindications for medication.
Oxytocin itself has little effect on the fetus, but if it is dripped too fast and given too much, it will cause tonic or spasmodic uterine contraction. Because the uterus continues to contract strongly, there is no diastolic period or the diastolic period is very short. At this time, the birth canal is narrow or the fetus is too large, and the fetal position is not correct, which prevents the fetus from descending. Causes the lower part of the uterus to become thinner and thinner, which will eventually rupture, leading to massive bleeding in pregnant women and hypoxia in the fetus. Or because of the strong uterine contraction caused by the above situation, and the labor resistance is not too great, the fetus can be delivered quickly, and the whole labor process does not exceed 3 hours, which is called emergency delivery. This will cause postpartum infection, birth canal laceration, neonatal falls and other consequences because it is too late to disinfect and protect perineum. At the same time, if the duration of uterine contraction is long, the intermittent time is short or there is no intermittent time, it will affect the blood circulation of placenta and easily cause acute intrauterine hypoxia, stillbirth or neonatal asphyxia.
It can be seen that oxytocin should be used in moderation, and it is forbidden to use oxytocin urgently for the early birth of the baby, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
