The blanket use of prostaglandin E2 pessaries, as reported by Mr J H Shepherd and his colleagues (14 July, p 108), does concern me. While they did draw attention to the need for fetal monitoring in such patients, I wonder how satisfactorily this can be achieved, especially in relatively high-risk cases, under such circumstances and whether such monitoring could not be better achieved by direct...
BACKGROUND Macrosomic fetuses are at increased risk of shoulder dystocia. We aimed to compare induction of labour with expectant management for large-for-date fetuses for prevention of shoulder dystocia and other neonatal and maternal morbidity associated with macrosomia. METHODS We did this pragmatic, randomised controlled trial between Oct 1, 2002, and Jan 1, 2009, in 19 tertiary-care centr...
BACKGROUND Induction of labour is associated with increased risk for caesarean delivery among nulliparous women. The aims of this study were to evaluate the risk factors for caesarean delivery and to investigate the risk of maternal and neonatal infections in nulliparous women undergoing induction of labour by Foley catheter. METHODS This clinical retrospective study of 432 nulliparous women ...
Prostaglandins E(2) and F(2)alpha were administered by mouth to induce labour in 24 patients at or past term. The drugs were administered at two-hourly intervals in doses ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 mg for prostaglandin E(2) and from 5 to 15 mg for prostaglandin F(2)alpha. Of the 10 cases in which prostaglandin E(2) was used, labour was successfully induced in eight and there were no side effects. ...
BACKGROUND There is increasing interest in carrying out pre-induction cervical ripening on an outpatient basis. However, there are concerns about the use of prostaglandins, the agents commonly used in hospital settings for this indication, because prostaglandins induce uterine contractions that may lead to fetal hypoxia. Indeed, in a recent study we demonstrated abnormalities in 9% of fetal hea...
BACKGROUND Labour induction should be performed where benefit outweighs potential harm, however epidemiology of induction in lower-income countries is not well described. We used the WHO Global Survey dataset to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of labour induction in 192,538 deliveries in 253 facilities across 16 countries in Africa and Asia. METHODS Data was analyzed separately for Afr...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of misoprostol compared with PGE2 for labour induction at term in terms of cesarean delivery, induction delivery interval, hyperstimulation and neonatal outcome. STUDY DESIGN: Comparative descriptive study SETTING: Department of obstetric and Gynecology unit-I labour ward of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad (LUH). DURATION: From 13thAugust 2007 to 12th August...
BACKGROUND Misoprostol is a new promising agent for cervical ripening and induction of labour .The ideal dose, route and frequency of administration of misoprostol are still under investigation. Although, vaginal application of misoprostol has been validated as a reasonable mean of induction, there is a patient resistance to digital examination and there is a risk of ascending infection. For th...
4 SAJOG • January 2013, Vol. 19, No. 1 Post-term pregnancy is fairly common in obstetric practice and is the most common indication for induction of labour.1-4 Recent studies have shown that the risks to the fetus5,6 and to the mother7,8 of continuing pregnancy beyond the estimated date of delivery are greater than originally thought, and induction of labour remains an accepted means of achievi...
