The Effects of Lowering Rate of Oxytocin and Applying Upright Positions on Duration of Active Phase and Pain Among Primiparous Women: A Randomized Controlled Trail

Phase 3

• Conditions: Oxytocin causes more pain for women during laor. Thusshortening the duration of active phase of labor in primiparous women who received oxytocin and decrease labor pain during active phase is important.Thus testing the combination of 2 methods 1) lower rate of oxytocin 2)applying upright position will be conducted in this study.; lowering rate of oxytocin and applying upright positions; duration of active phase; labor pain
