Induction of labor constitutes the initiation of regular uterine contractions for the purpose of effecting delivery before spontaneous labor begins. It should not be confused with augmentation of labor, which may constitute a method or series of methods that are applied to effect vaginal delivery after spontaneous labor has occurred.

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 ...

Induction of labor is the deliberate initiation of labor by artificial means (either mechanic or pharmacologic) in advanced pregnancy, before labor starts spontaneously. Induction of labor has been practiced for a long time, and the list of the means and techniques used for that purpose is long and varied. Many of these have become obsolete and are now

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

Abstract Sixty-eight cases of bougie induction of labor have been analyzed, covering a nine-year period from 1940 to 1948, inclusive. The method is described. The literature has been reviewed and compared with the results obtained. In selected cases bougie induction remains a procedure of choice.

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.

For high-risk pregnancies, modern obstetrical practice demands prompt recognition and judicious but active management. The ability of the obstetrician to control when, where, and how a particular labor and delivery may occur has reduced the fetal and maternal risks of the major complications of late pregnancy.

Abstract Castor Oil and Quinine .—Efficacious in 40 to 50 per cent of patients at term; harmless if dosage of quinine is 10 gr. or less. Castor Oil, Quinine, and Pituitrin .—Efficacious in 60 or 70 per cent of patients at term; harmless if dosage of quinine is low and if administration of pituitrin (preferably nasal) is vigilantly supervised ...

Misoprostol for induction of labor
Seminars in Perinatology, 2015Labor-induction rates have increased considerably in the United States as well as around the world. With up to half of all induced labors requiring cervical ripening, prostaglandins have been utilized to increase induction success and achieve vaginal delivery.
