It was obtained that the average time to reach the active phase after initiating the induction was of 5,08 hours and 80,3% of the women had a fast response; while the duration of the active phase was of 4,05 hours as average. The usefulness of the new therapeutic protocol for the dystocia of latent phase was demonstrated
