Question 295 · LEK · Induction of labor

The most common complications observed during the induction of labour are:

1) uterine hyperstimulation;
2) uterine rupture;
3) hypertension in the mother;
4) abnormal CTG;
5) post-partum haemorrhage;
6) green amniotic fluid;
7) HELLP syndrome.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 1,2,3,5.
  2. B. 2,3,4,5,6.
  3. C. 3,4,5,6,7.
  4. D. 1,2,3,4,6.
  5. E. 1,2,4,5,6.
Hint

Think of what oxytocin and prostaglandins do to the uterus and foetus; pregnancy-specific diseases are indications for induction, not its complications.
