Determining the optimal timing for induction of labor is critical in minimizing the risks to maternal and fetal health. While data are available to guide us in some clinical situations, such as hypertension and diabetes, many gaps in knowledge still exist in others, including cholestasis of pregnancy, fetal anomalies, and placental abruption.

Induction of labor has increased from 9% to 18% of all U.S. deliveries in recent years. Several useful oxytocin induction protocols are available, both from the ACOG Practice Bulletin #10 and institutional sources. Higher-dose protocols tend to result in fewer cesarean deliveries for dystocia but more "fetal distress." There is no consensus as to which

One thousand consecutive cases of surgical induction of labor are presented. The results and complications are summarized. Personal selection, performance, and supervision of patients are important factors in achieving satisfactory results.

Induction of labor rates have more than doubled nationwide in the past 15 years. The increase in medically induced inductions was slower than the overall increase, suggesting that inductions for marginal or elective reasons rose more rapidly. Elective inductions seem to account for at least half of all inductions and 10% of all deliveries.

Oxytocin for Induction of Labor
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2006Oxytocin is the most common pharmacologic agent used for the induction and augmentation of labor. Oxytocin protocols can be divided into high-dose and low-dose protocols depending on the initial dose and the amount and rate of sequential increase in dose.

Induction of labor in eclampsia
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1953Abstract Five cases of eclampsia have been presented in which labor was successfully induced and completed by the use of Pitocin. The use of Pitocin induction is recommended only during intercurrent eclampsia or possibly for eclampsia with complications, provided the eclamptic symptoms can be controlled for an adequate time to permit labor and ...

The hazards of elective induction of labor
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1958Abstract 1. 1. A review of 6,860 cases of electively induced labors has been presented. 2. 2. The most effective method of inducing labor is simple amniotomy. 3. 3. Eighty-two and three-tenths per cent of the patients were in labor within 4 hours, and only 2.3 per cent had a latent period of over 24 hours. 4. 4.

Indications for Induction of Labor
MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing, 1993Despite all the new technology, the research being conducted, and progress in the field of obstetrics, much controversy remains concerning the management of the high-risk patient and when--or whether--to induce labor. One factor complicating the discussion is that health centers vary in the services they offer. Many are small, lacking a high-risk labor

Normal Labor and the Induction and Augmentation of Labor
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1983The management of labor is based on a sound understanding of labor's biochemistry and physiology. The interaction between prostaglandin synthesis and other mechanisms postulated to control the initiation of labor shows promise, but the definitive explanation for the initiation of labor awaits further research.
