Cervical ripening with dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1982
Summary. 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.

Outpatient management of pre-induction cervical ripening

Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2020
Introduction Induction of labor is a common obstetric intervention. For women requiring cervical ripening, the current standard practice of inpatient labor induction can be long and challenging.

Use of Misoprostol for Cervical Ripening

Southern Medical Journal, 2000
Misoprostol, 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.

Cervical Ripening and Labor Induction

2021
Induction of labor refers to artificial stimulus for uterine contractions and is indicated when the benefits to either mother or fetus outweigh those of continuing the pregnancy. The goal of labor induction is to achieve a successful vaginal delivery always ensuring the best possible outcome for the mother and newborn.

Prostaglandin: cervical ripening in hypertensive pregnancies

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2003
Background.  To determine the outcome of cervical ripening with intracervical prostaglandin E2 (PEG2) in hypertensive and non‐hypertensive high‐risk pregnancies in terms of successful ripening, mode of delivery, time intercorring between ripening and the beginning of labor or parturition and, at least, duration of labor.Methods.

Obesity and cervical ripening failure risk

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2011
To 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.

Comparison of intracervical Foley catheter used alone or combined with a single dose of dinoprostone gel for cervical ripening: a randomised study

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, 2019
Prostaglandins and intracervical catheters are similarly effective for cervical ripening and for an induction of labour (IOL). Studies comparing the combined use with either method alone have administered repetitive doses of prostaglandins vaginally ...

Inflammatory mediators and cervical ripening

Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2002
The 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.

Anatomy and Physiology of Cervical Ripening

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
The 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.
