Outpatient Cervical Ripening With Intravaginal Misoprostol
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000To determine if outpatient cervical ripening using misoprostol can initiate labor within 48 hours of medication administration and to determine if time from medication administration to time of delivery is decreased using outpatient cervical ripening.Uncomplicated singleton, vertex pregnancies at 41 weeks' gestation or later with Bishop score of 4 or ...

Precocious Cervical Ripening and Preterm Labor
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1986A group of 8303 women was studied to determine the timing of cervical ripening. It was confirmed that these signs of cervical change can be observed several weeks before preterm births. The precocious signs of external ripening can be recognized during a vaginal examination and may be useful in predicting preterm labor.

Outpatient term preinduction cervical ripening with mechanical agents has been associated with reduced length of stay, decreased cesarean delivery rates, low maternal and neonatal complications, and increased incidence of vaginal delivery within 24 hours.This study aimed to demonstrate equivalent efficacy between synthetic hygroscopic dilators and the ...

Obesity and cervical ripening failure risk
The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2011To estimate the impact of obesity on cervical ripening with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).A retrospective study compared the cervical ripening efficiency of PGE2 on patients with BMI above 30 kg/m(2) and normal weight patients with BMI between 20 kg/m(2) and 25 kg/m(2). In case of a Bishop score (≤3), a dinoprostone tampon was used over 12 h.

Use of Misoprostol for Cervical Ripening
Southern Medical Journal, 2000Misoprostol, the prostaglandin E1 analog, is increasingly used for cervical ripening and induction of labor. We evaluated our experience with misoprostol in an open-label setting.Patients were selected for cervical ripening based on clinical profile. At 3 cm cervical dilation, misoprostol was discontinued and other means of labor augmentation were used.

Dinoprostone intracervical gel for cervical ripening
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2004This article reviews the outcomes of 450 women in a high-risk obstetric population that were induced with Dinoprostone (Pharmacia and Upjohn Kalamazoo MI) intracervical gel containing 0.5 mg of dinoprostone in 2 g gel. The risk factors include advancing maternal age multiparity and the social demand on women to avoid cesarean section by any means to ...

Anatomy and Physiology of Cervical Ripening
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995The uterine cervix is a unique organ composed predominately of the extracellular matrix proteins, collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. During pregnancy and labor, this organ is metabolically active, which is rare in adult tissue. The metabolism is under reproductive hormonal control and is more complex than previously appreciated.
