The results of different labour induction approaches: A Cross sectional study

Abstract

We created 7 groups. Group A started the induction with 10 mg of vaginal dinoprostone and they gave birth during that day. Group B started with 10 mg of vaginal dinoprostone, but the second day they needed another dose of 10 mg of vaginal dinoprostone. Group C: started with 10 mg of vaginal dinoprostone but for 24 hours the cervix was favourable and women continued the induction with oxytocin intravenously until the childbirth. Group D started with 10mg of vaginal dinoprostone the first day, the second they received another dose of 10mg of dinoprostone, and if the cervix was favourable oxytocin was administered. Group E started with 10mg of vaginal dinoprostone and continued with oxytocin the second day. Group F started with 10 mg of vaginal dinoprostone the first day, the second day they needed another dose of dinoprostone, and the third day they continued with oxytocin until the childbirth. Group G: started with oxytocin from the first day, either because the cervix was unfavourable (Bishop Score ≥6), there was a risk of uterine hyperstimulation or because there were contraindications to administer prostaglandins.
