Objective To investigate the effect of oxytocin combined with phloroglucinol in childbirth in primary hospital. Methods A total of 200 primiparas admitted to department of obstetrics in Gaoming people's hospital from August 2013 to October 2014　were selected as study subjects. The cases were randomly divided into observation group (100 cases) and control group (100 cases). In labor, cases in control group were given oxytocin 2.5 U and 5% glucose injection 500 mL, and were given 5% glucose injection 250 mL and phloroglucinol 120 mg by double tube intravenous infusion. Cases in observation group were only given oxytocin 2.5 U and 5% glucose injection 500 mL intravenous infusion. The duration of delivery、delivery mode、the condition of newborn and volume of bleeding after labor were compared between two groups. Results For the first、second and third stages of labor, duration of delivery in observation group were significantly shorter than that in control group (P＜0.01), Both cesarean delivery rate [3%(3/100)] and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia[3%(3/100)] in observation group were significantly lower than that in control group 21%(21/100)and 13%(13/100;P＜0.01). The volume of bleeding during two hours after labor in observation group was less than that in control group (109.38±16.13)mL vs 185.00±30.71 mL, P＜0.01. Conclusion In the stages of labor, the use of oxytocin combined with phloroglucinol can shorten the duration of delivery, reduce the cesarean delivery rate and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia and reduce the volume of bleeding after labor. It is worth recommending to use in primary hospital.
