We surveyed 206 lead obstetric anaesthetists in the\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">UK<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    to determine standard practice in their unit as well as any differences in practice for high\u2010risk cases. There were 150 responses (72.9% response rate). A total of 149 units use oxytocin. The majority use an initial 5\u2010IU dose, whilst a small proportion (8; 5.3%) administer a dose &lt;\u00a05\u00a0IU for elective caesarean section. The administration of a 10\u2010IU dose has ceased altogether. There is a broad range of administration methods, particularly with infusions. Forty (26.8%) respondents give a different oxytocin regimen following caesarean section in patients with severe pre\u2010eclampsia, 72 (48.3%) in those with cardiac disease of New York Heart Association class 1\u20102, and 100 (66.7%) with class 3\u20104. In conclusion, there is a trend towards the use of lower doses of oxytocin in caesarean section, but there are still wide variations in detail. We suggest that there is a need for a national protocol to standardise oxytocin administration.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/anae.12381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,15]],"date-time":"2013-08-15T12:32:35Z","timestamp":1376569955000},"page":"1021-1025","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Impact of dose\u2010finding studies on administration of oxytocin during caesarean section in the UK"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"West","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia Royal Free London Hospital London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"West","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia University College Hospital London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Simons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia Royal Free London Hospital London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"McGlennan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia Royal Free London Hospital London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.Prevention and management of postpartum haemorrhage.
