Abstract
We performed a randomised controlled trial to compare the effect on neonatal and maternal serum sodium of using oxytocin in Hartmanns solution compared to the standard 5% Dextrose regimen for induction or augmentation in labour. We found significantly decreased maternal and neonatal serum sodium concentrations in the 5% Dextrose group compared to the Hartmanns group.
