Induction of labor is indicated when the benefits to either the mother or the fetus outweigh the benefits of continuing the pregnancy. The state of the cervix is clearly related to the success of labor induction and the duration of labor. In cases of unfavorable cervices, physicians usually use a ripening agent before inducing labor.

Induction of labor is one of the most commonly performed obstetric procedures. Many patients undergoing labor induction require cervical ripening. In an era where cost and patient satisfaction have become paramount, the idea of outpatient cervical ripening is appealing; provided it can be performed in a safe and cost effective manner.

A limited number of studies have provided preliminary data on the efficacy and safety of PGE2 used as an outpatient cervical ripening agent. Multiple inpatient studies have confirmed the effect of PGE2 in favorably changing the cervical score, reducing the incidence of failed inductions and instrumental deliveries, shortening the induction-to-delivery ...

Cervical fetal fibronectin correlates to cervical ripening
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1995Aim of study. It is well established that the cervical ripeness is of great prognostic value at labor induction. The available methods of measuring the cervical ripeness are not satisfactory. This study was therefore initiated to investigate if there is any correlation between cervical fetal fibronectin and cervical ripening at term.Method.

In conclusion, no pharmacologic method presently used in the hospital to ripen the cervix has attained the level of standard of care for application in most office or clinic outpatient settings. Published data are accumulating that support the safety of the prostaglandin preparations for this purpose.

Eosinophils in human cervical ripening
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1997Cervical ripening has many similarities to an inflammatory reaction. Eosinophil granulocytes are involved in several inflammatory responses. The objective was to investigate the presence of eosinophils in human cervix uteri during different conditions.Cervical biopsies were obtained from non-pregnant (n = 6), women in early pregnancy (n = 11) and from ...

Cervical ripening with dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1982Summary. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA‐S) was given intravenously twice a week after 38 weeks gestation to ripen the uterine cervix in 20 nulliparae and 24 parous women who subsequently went into labour at term. The condition of the uterine cervix was assessed by Bishop scoring.

When induction of labour is being considered the first step should be to assess the cervical score. If this is low, the gestational age should be confirmed since an unripe cervix is normal in earlier pregnancy and there may be a mistake in the patient's dates. If the maturity is confirmed, the choice lies between delivering the baby and waiting.

Cervical ripening with the Foley catheter
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2007AbstractObjective: To evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in a large series of patients undergoing cervical ripening with a Foley catheter. Methods: The database of the Labor and Delivery Unit of the University of a teaching hospital in Italy was used to identify consecutive patients with a Bishop score (BS) of 4 or less who underwent pre‐induction

Inflammatory mediators and cervical ripening
Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2002The mechanisms which soften the cervix and allow it to dilate at birth are not well known. This is a crucial element in labour and current pharmacological approaches, largely the use of prostaglandins (PG), are only semi-selective for the cervix and can cause inappropriate myometrial contractions.
