Reported in this paper are 267 cases of induced labour with correlation to pelvic score in 213 pregnancies. Tocometrically controlled infusion of 10 IU oxytocin/500 ml is compared to conventional drip infusion of 6 IU oxytocin. The success of induction is closely related to pelvic score according to G. Martius. The rate of good success doubled by about ten points on the pelvic score, that is from 83 to 94 per cent. Good success was obtained in 69 per cent of those cases in which labour had been first induced by drip infusion of 6 IU oxytocin/500 ml and in 92 per cent of those cases in which 10 IU oxytocin/500 ml had been infused under tocometric control. Caesarean section was applied to 4.7 per cent of women in the first group and to 12.8 per cent in the second. Higher section rates and lower apgar values seemed to be correlated to indications for induced labour with tocometrically controlled oxytocin infusion. The results should be verified by comparable material.
