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

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.

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.

Induction of Labor with Prostaglandin
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 197140 patients received either prostaglandin (PG)F2alpha or oxytocin to induce term labor. The 2 groups were comparable with respect to cervical status prior to dilatation fetal station and parity. The mean maximum dose for oxytocin was 8.2 mU/min for the group with minimal cervical dilatation and 5.6 mU for those with more dilatation.

Induction of labor is a widely used practice. From 2016 to 2019, >1 in 3 women giving birth in the United States did so after undergoing labor induction. The obvious goal of labor induction is vaginal birth with minimal maternal or neonatal morbidity. To achieve this goal, criteria for failed labor induction are needed.

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.

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 ...

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.
