Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls

Pitocin For Early D&C? No!

26 May 2019

Description

Somethings in medicine are done by tradition. The use of Oxytocin during first trimester uterine evacuation is one such thing. Evidence seems to be lacking for the use of this common intervention. Remember, physiologically, oxytocin receptors show a linear increase in concentration as pregnancy progresses- rising quickly after 36 weeks of pregnancy, and are only present in negligible quantities on the myometeium in the first trimester! In this session, we will review the data on oxytocin use for first trimester OB D&C.
