Abstract
Objective. Demonstrate the expediency and effectiveness of labor induction for more than 6 hours (up to 12 hours of the latent phase).
 Materials and methods. A cohort, descriptive, single-center study was conducted. The effectiveness of labor induction with oxytocin for more than 6 hours was estimated. The birth medical histories of 3265 patients of SBHI of Sverdlovsk Region "Yekaterinburg Regional Perinatal Center" from January 2020 to December 2022, who underwent pre-induction and induction of labor, were analyzed.
 Results. The group of patients, who underwent induction of labor with oxytocin, was 2261 cases. In 1269 (56.13 %) patients, vaginal delivery occurred after less than 6 hours of labor induction with oxytocin. In 992 patients (43.87 %) induction of labor with oxytocin was continued for more than 6 hours. Only 320 labors resulted in abdominal delivery due to ineffective labor induction, which amounted to 32.3 % (of the number of labor inductions with oxytocin for more than 6 hours) and 14.2 % (of the total number of labor inductions with oxytocin).
 Conclusions. Induction of labor with oxytocin for more than 6 hours (up to 12 hours of the latent phase) is reasonable and effective. It allows to avoid abdominal delivery in up to 30 % of patients of the study group.
