Introduction: Labour is a multifactorial process. The perception of pain to a great extent depends on the duration of labour and prolonged labour sets in a viscious cycle of pain – fear – spastic cervix. This cycle has to be broken if delivery is to proceed satisfactorily leading to delayed or arrested labour. A prospective study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of Hyoscine – N – Butylbromide (suppository) in augmentation of cervical dilatation during labour and any adverse effects on the maternal and fetal outcome.
Materials and Methods: Prospective study on the effect of Hyoscine – N – Butylbromide (suppository) in augmentation of cervical dilatation during labour. Primigravidae admitted to the labour ward in A. J. Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore were included in the study based on a criteria.
The average age in the study group was 24.07 ± 3.22 years and in the control group was 24.63 ± 3.0 years. Mean duration of active phase of first stage of labour in the study group was 279.93 ± 62.53 minutes (4 hours 40 minutes ± 62.53 minutes) while in the control group was 398.57 ± 96.51 minutes (6 hours 39 minutes ± 96.51 minutes). The difference is statistically significant (P < 0> Conclusion: Hyoscine – N – Butylbromide suppository is a new aid in the management of uncomplicated labour for a convenient shorter and safer physiological delivery making it more tolerable for the mother.
