- Abstract:
- 153 oral prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inductions of labour were compared with 172 inductions with oxytocin. Details of these inductions are presented. After review of the data we assumed that induction of labour with oral PGE2 is less hazardous to mother or infant than with oxytocin. The similarity between the contractions of spontaneous labour and those labours produced by PGE2 is represented by the caesarean section rate in cases of effective induction. The operative delivery rate in the oxytocin-treated group was significantly higher. The need for close observation of the progress of labour during PGE2 inductions is emphasized.
