The obstetric management and outcome of normal patients presenting to two obstetric teams working in the Cardiff Maternity Hospital are compared over a five-year period. One team induced labour with amniotomy and oxytocin infusion three times more frequently than the other. No advantage or disadvantage of this practice was demonstrated using various measures of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The implications of these findings are discussed together with those of two previously reported observational studies. The need for experimental research in perinatal medicine is stressed.
对在加的夫妇产医院工作的两个产科团队接收的正常产妇的产科管理及结局进行了为期五年的比较。其中一个团队采用人工破膜和静脉滴注缩宫素引产的频率比另一个团队高三倍。使用围产期发病率和死亡率的各种衡量指标均未显示出这种做法有何利弊。结合之前报道的两项观察性研究的结果对这些发现的意义进行了讨论。强调了围产期医学中开展实验性研究的必要性。
