Induction of labor will affect almost a quarter of all pregnancies, but historically there has been no generally accepted definition of failed induction of labor. Only recently have studies analyzed the lengths of latent labor that are associated with successful labor induction ending in a vaginal delivery, and recommendations for uniformity in the ...

I T IS 0~1: opinion that the elective induction of labor has a useful place in present-day obstetrics with advantages to both patient and doctor. If the procedure is applied to the proper patient at the proper time, no serious complications should result.

Labor induction has become commonplace in modern obstetrics. The increasing rate of labor induction has probably played a role in the increased rate of cesarean delivery observed in the United States during the past few decades. Clearly, the favorability of the cervix has a substantial impact on the potential success of any labor induction.

Several mechanical and biochemical methods have been used to induce labor throughout modern obstetrics. We review and compare mechanical and medical methods of labor induction, along with several new uterotonic agents such as mifepristone (RU 486) and misoprostol, which can be conveniently administered orally and managed in the outpatient clinic.

Misoprostol in Labor Induction
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, 2001AbstractThe efficacy of a new dosing regimen of misoprostol, a recently introduced labor‐inducing agent, was studied.Fifty‐eight patients received 50 μg of misoprostol intravaginally and the dose was repeated every 3 hours until uterine contractions begin.

Abstract 1. 1. A series of 600 cases of elective induction of labor by rupture of the membranes is presented. 2. 2. The method of selection of patients depending on gravidity, history, and condition of the cervix is described. 3. 3. Eighteen per cent of the patients were primigravidas. 4. 4.

Artificial termination of pregnancy, at or near term, is accomplished by cesarean section or by induction of labor. As opposed to the natural or spontaneous onset of labor, these artificial procedures are definitive acts of commission by the doctor for which he assumes responsibility.

Abstract This is a report of 1,000 clective inductions of labor performed in healthy multipara or near term with a vertex presentation which was at least partially engaged and a cervix that was at least 2 cm. dilated at the internal os. The maternal and fetal results obtained in these cases are compared with those of an equal number of multiparas who

Labor Induction with Prostaglandins
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1983Prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha have been used for labor induction for more than 10 years. Many investigations have shown that these prostaglandins are effective, and within certain dosage schedules, safe oxytocics, even though the systemic administration is accompanied by side effects, mainly from the gastro-intestinal tract.
