INDUCTION OF LABOR IN PRE-ECLAMPTIC WOMEN

Objective: The article presents a literature review on the current possibilities of induction of labor (IOL) in severe preeclampsia (SPE). Delivery is the only treatment for preeclampsia (PE), a serious pregnancy complication. In women with SPE, better maternal and perinatal outcomes are associated with vaginal delivery. The exceptions are cases where there are obstetric indications for cesarean section (CS) or the need for urgent delivery due to complications of PE. The optimal IOL methods for women with SPE, especially when early delivery is necessary, are still not established. In this regard, studies on the most appropriate IOL methods for women with PE are crucial. A literature data search was conducted through Elibrary, Cyberleninka, and PubMed to obtain relevant information from the abovementioned databases. Keywords: Pregnancy, severe preeclampsia, labor induction, methods of labor induction.
