| The Cochrane Collaboration (2011) |
|
 According to The Cochrane Collaboration: 'A higher dose of oxytocin was associated with a significant reduction in length of labour reported from one trial. There was a decrease in rate of caesarean section and an increase in the rate of spontaneous vaginal birth.'
According to the authors' conclusions: 'Higher dose of oxytocin starting and increment dose (4 mU per minute or more) was associated with a reduction in the length of labour and in caesarean section, and an increase in spontaneous vaginal birth. However, there is insufficient evidence..... Therefore, no firm recommendation can be made.'
