641: High versus low dose oxytocin in lean and obese women: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial

Obese women have longer labors and are more likely to require a cesarean delivery. We hypothesized that high dose oxytocin would decrease time to delivery in an obese cohort undergoing an induction of labor. We randomized lean and obese women into four groups: lean women receiving low dose oxytocin, lean women receiving high dose oxytocin, obese women receiving low dose oxytocin and obese women receiving high dose oxytocin.
