Abstract
As noted in other chapters, there are a number of conditions in obstetrics in which prompt relaxation of the uterus is necessary. In the past this could be achieved only by the rapid induction of general anaesthesia using halogenated agents, with its attendant risks. The development of simply administered tocolytic drugs has reduced the need for this risky use of general anaesthesia. When acute tocolysis is required, regional anaesthesia in the form of spinal or epidural block may be in place. Although these regional anaesthetics provide good analgesia, they have no tocolytic effect; hence, the administration of tocolytic drugs is necessary to achieve optimum uterine relaxation. Indications EXCESSIVE UTERINE ACTION IN LABOUR Uterine hyperstimulation in labour is defined as more than five uterine con tractions in a 10-minute period (tachysystole) or contractions exceeding 2 minutes in duration (hypertonus). Although uterine hyper stimulation can occur in spontaneous labour, it is more likely in pathological conditions such as placental abruption. Uterine hyperstimulation is most often found in response to uterotonic drugs such as oxytocin and, more commonly, prostaglandins which are used for cervical ripening and induction of labour.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
