This study was designed to address the effect of induced labor using pitocin iv drip in decreasing the incidence of perinatal complications and perinatal mortality of prolonged pregnancy. Induced labor was used in a study group which included 126 prolonged pregnant nullipara without complication. One hundred and twenty-eight prolonged pregnant nullipara in natural labor were defined as the control group. The perinatal mortality was 0 in the study group and 3.125% in the control. Also, the asphyxia rate was 8.7% in the study group and 13.3% in the control. The percentage of caesarean deliveries was the same in the both groups. The results of this study suggest that induced labor is safe, effective and practical in the management of prolonged pregnancies.
