Cervical ripening with prostaglandin gel and hygroscopic dilators.
OBJECTIVE To study the effectiveness and morbidity of adding hygroscopic cervical dilators to prostaglandin gel for cervical ripening and labor induction. STUDY DESIGN Patients of at least 34 weeks' gestation with a medical indication for induction of labor and with a modified Bishop score of 5 or less were randomized to receive either prostaglandin gel or prostaglandin gel with hygroscopic c...
متن کاملTopical prostaglandin E2 gel for cervical ripening and closure of the ductus arteriosus in the newborn.
The closure time of the ductus arteriosus was investigated in 29 full term babies born vaginally after induction with prostaglandin E2 and in 22 controls. Serial Doppler echocardiography studies showed a significantly prolonged closure time in babies induced by prostaglandin E2. Whether the difference is related to changes in fetal prostaglandin E2 concentration remains to be established.
متن کاملA randomised controlled trial of outpatient compared with inpatient cervical ripening with prostaglandin E₂ (OPRA study).
OBJECTIVE To compare clinical outcomes from outpatient with inpatient cervical prostaglandin E2 ripening for low risk labour induction. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING Two tertiary hospitals in Adelaide, Australia. POPULATION Women with uncomplicated term pregnancies, scheduled for induction of labour for reasons of post-dates or for social reasons. METHODS Eight hundred and...
متن کاملProstaglandin dehydrogenase is a target for successful induction of cervical ripening.
The cervix represents a formidable structural barrier for successful induction of labor. Approximately 10% of pregnancies undergo induction of cervical ripening and labor with prostaglandin (PG) E2 or PGE analogs, often requiring many hours of hospitalization and monitoring. On the other hand, preterm cervical ripening in the second trimester predicts preterm birth. The regulatory mechanisms of...
متن کاملComparative Effects of Ballooning Intracervical Catheter and Prostaglandin Pessary on Cervical Ripening
Labor is induced to stimulate the uterine contraction in effort to have vaginal birth. Induction may be advocated to reduce fetal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. Indication of labor needs to be considered when risk and benefits analysis indicates that delivering the baby is safe option for mother or both rather than continuing the pregnancy and when there are no clear indications for caesa...
