Changes in electromyographic activity of the cervix after stimulation of labour with oxytocin.

M Pajntar1, D Rudel.   

Abstract

The electrical activity of the cervix can be measured during labour. The influence of oxytocin on electromyographic (EMG) activity of the cervical musculature was studied in 80 primiparous women after induction of labor. The highest electrical activity registered at the time of uterine contraction and between two contractions was used for analysis. The basic pattern of oxytocin-produced changes in muscular contractions in the cervix observed via EMG activity is that of the activity increasing with contractions of the uterine corpus and diminishing between contractions. The effect of oxytocin on cervical musculature is different in ripe and unripe cervices.
