The iHOLDS Trial: High Or Low Dose Syntocinon for induction of labour

Around one in three first-time mothers have their labour started artificially (induced). Many need a hormone drip called oxytocin. This UK study compares the standard dose of oxytocin with a higher dose to see if it safely helps women give birth vaginally and reduces the need for an unplanned caesarean section.
