Abstract：Objective To study the Results of phloroglucinol applied to the labor induced by oxytocin. Methods 150 pregnant women were recruited in Baoding Maternal and Child Health Hospital during 2012-2013, who underwent oxytocin induced labor because of premature rupture of membranes, delayed pregnancy, oligohydramnios. They were randomly divided into study group and control group. The study group received intravenous oxytocin daily and phloroglucinol 80 mg, and intravenous phloroglucinol 80 mg again in dilatation of the cervix to 3 cm. The control group was treated by intravenous infusion of oxytocin. For the study group and the control group, the birth outcomes, application of oxytocin to labor time, latency and time of active period, and 2 h post-partum bleeding were recorded. Results Compared with the control group, the success rate of vaginal birth increased using drugs to reduce the time in labor in the study group (P<0.05). The study group had shortened latency and active period, with statistically significant difference. The second stage had no significant difference between the two groups. The study group, compared with the control group, had significantly reduced maternal tolerance to pain conditions (P<0.01), 2 h postpartum hemorrhage was not significantly different. Conclusions Phloroglucinol accelerates the maternal cervix dilatation and cervical ripening, shortens labor, reduces the cesarean section rate, reduce maternal pain, and without significant adverse effects on mothers and children.
