Failed IOL
Many different definitions: Most commonly 12-24hrs ruptured membranes on pitocin without active labor
Arrest of dilation
Can only meet criteria once in active labor 6cm or greater
Do you know if her contractions are adequate? IUPC with MVUs>200-250
If the contractions are adequate, no change over 4hrs
If contractions are inadequate or no IUPC, no change over 6hrs
Arrest of descent
Prime with epidural 3hrs
Prime without epidural-2hrs
