How does oxytocin regulate the number of drops?

Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by human pituitary gland, which directly acts on the myometrium of uterus and causes contractions. Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, you don't need to use oxytocin. Get ready and wait for the baby to be born. But some pregnant women have no time to give birth, so they need oxytocin. So how does oxytocin regulate the number of drops?

Intravenous infusion of oxytocin should start with a small dose, and the dropping speed should be adjusted with the lowest effective concentration, for example, the initial dropping speed is 8 drops/minute, and then the number of drops should be adjusted every 15 minutes to achieve effective contraction. Generally speaking, the maximum dose does not exceed 30 drops/minute, and the maximum dose is 48 drops/minute. If it is necessary to increase the dosage and concentration, it is best to ask a professional doctor to operate it to avoid other dangers.

Oxytocin can play a strong role in promoting contractions. Only when the uterus has not contracted for more than 465,438+0 weeks can a small dose of oxytocin be used to start uterine contraction under the guidance of a doctor. However, it must be noted that if oxytocin needs to be used, it must not be used blindly and must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Giving birth to a child is hard work. In this process, mothers must pay attention to adjusting their emotions, don't give themselves too much pressure, and don't face it alone. You can ask your husband and other family members to help you and give you more care, so that your mental state can be better.
