[Experience from use of Cardiff system (author's transl)].

Reported in this paper are 128 tocometrically controlled oxytocin infusions, using the Cardiff system. The oxytocic intervals were clearly shorter in comparison to conventional oxytocin drip infusion. However, more deliveries had to be completed surgically for foetal emergency situations, which, probably, was attributable to excessive rapid increase in oxytocin infusion rate due to the instruments used.
