| Methods |
Randomised controlled trial with allocation by sealed, numbered envelopes. |
| Participants |
Women with singleton pregnancies greater than 37 weeks' gestation requiring induction of labour with 3 or less previous deliveries. |
| Interventions |
Oxytocin by routine continuous infusion or pulsatile. |
| Outcomes |
Primary: duration of labour and total oxytocin dose. Secondary: volume of intravenous fluids, serum sodium changes, jaundice of the newborn. |
| Notes |
This remains unpublished to our knowledge and despite the record of study being retrieved, the only details found were that it compared pulsed vs continuous infusion but not the dose of each group. No response from author for further clarification. |
