Induction of labor with intravaginal misoprostol versus intracervical dinoprostone
1Jones Institute, Norfolk, Virginia, USA.
Abstract:
Sixty five pregnant women who had the indication for labor induction were randomized in a clinical trial to receive 100 micrograms intravaginal misoprostol or intracervical gel of 0.5 mg dinoprostone. The mean time from induction to delivery for the misoprostol group was 7.6 +/- 1.9 versus 8.2 +/- 5.9 (hours +/- SD) for the dinoprostone group. There were no significant differences between groups in gestational age, induced labor rates, type of delivery, fetal outcome and maternal complications. We found that intravaginal misoprostol tablet is as effective as intracervical dinoprostone for inducing second and third trimester labor.
