Results: Successful vaginal delivery was comparable in the three groups; mean induction to delivery interval (h) was greater for dinoprostone group (20.10±2.62) than catheter (19.93±2.92) and misoprostol (18.76±2.47) groups (P>0.05). Oxytocin was more needed in the catheter group (23.3%) than in the dinoprostone (20%) and misoprostol (13.3%) groups (P>0.05). The cesarean rate was not significan...

Introduction: Objectives: To compare the efficacy, safety and tolerance of misoprostol versus dinoprostone gel in induction of labour in the case of late Intra Uterine Fetal Death (IUFD) with unfavourable cervix.Materials and methods: This prospective study included a consecutive series of 40 women gravid up to fourth with IUFD after 28 weeks of gestation between March 2013 to Feb 2014. Women w...

We report the findings of a small prospective randomly allocated trial in which we compared the efficacy of intravaginal dinoprostone to transcervical Foley catheter for induction of labor. Women who were admitted to the delivery suite for labor induction and met criteria for enrolment in the trial were invited to participate. Among those, 20 received vaginal dinoprostone and Foley catheter was...

The efficacy of intracervical Foley catheter with misoprostol (PGE1) and dinoprostone (PGE2) for preinduction cervical ripening, induction of labour, mode of delivery, induction to delivery interval and maternal complications has been compared.. Women who were admitted to hospital and met criteria for entrance in the trial were counseled and enrolled after informed consent. Inclusion criteria i...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the efficacy and safety of low-dose oral misoprostol compared with dinoprostone (PGE2), vaginal misoprostol, and oxytocin for labor induction in women with a viable fetus. DATA SOURCES We conducted electronic database searches of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for articles published before January 2008 using the keywords misoprostol, labor, induction, ...

Cervical ripening is an essential factor for initiation of normal labour for vaginal delivery. Prior to onset of spontaneous labour the cervix undergoes a gradual process of ripening. But in certain cases it does not occur spontaneously at term and sometimes induction of labour is required. Then cervical ripening means high bishop score in essential for successful induction of labour. This comp...

The main aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and patient satisfaction of two methods of labour induction in terms of singleton pregnancies of both nulliparous and multiparous women with an unfavourable cervix. The primary outcome was caesarean section rates between groups. The study used Randomised Controlled trial. The population of nulliparous and multiparous women with an unfavourab...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of misoprostol alone with dinoprostone followed by misoprostol, all inserted intravaginally in induction of labor at term and the obstetrical outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS A pilot study comprising 111 primigravidae, >37 gestational weeks with singleton pregnancy in cephalic presentation having an unfavorable Bishop score admitted for labor inductio...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of extra-amniotic Foley catheter with intra cervical Dinoprostone gel for preinduction cervical ripening. Study Design: A randomized, prospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, PGIMS Rohtak on 100 pregnant women admitted for induction of labor. Fifty patients were randomized to receive Dinopros...

role of labor induction has increased in the last decade due to the ‎early detection of fetal jeopardy. although very useful, oxytocin alone is not always successful for induction of ‎labor. in a randomized clinical ‎trial we compared vaginal dinoprostone plus oxytocin with oxytocin alone for ‎induction of labor in 91 ‎pregnant women at 40 weeks or greater gestation with bishop scores ≤ 4. fort...
