ADVERSE EFFECTS
cardiac arrhythmias, PVCs, hypertension, subarachnoid hemorrhage Fetal effects: fetal bradycardia, neonatal jaundice, low Apgar scores nauseas, vomiting, postpartum hemorrhage, uterine rupture, pelvic hematoma, uterine hypertonicity, spasm EFFECT ON LACTATION
PREADMINISTRATION > Monitor and record uterine contractions, heart rate, BP, intrauterine pressure, fetal heart rate, and blood loss q15. >never give oxytocin simultaneously by more than one route.
INTRAADMINISTRATION >Monitor BP during administration >If contractions are less than 2 minutes apart, if they’re above 50mm Hg, or if they last 90seconds or longer, stop infusion, and turn patient on her side, and notify prescriber
It has been used in mothers having difficulty with engorgement and breast-feeding. Because several small studies have failed to show a beneficial effect, oxytocin is not used for this indication. Oxytocin is excreted in the breast-milk, but is not expected to have adverse effects in the infant.
