Abstract:
In conclusion, no pharmacologic method presently used in the hospital to ripen the cervix has attained the level of standard of care for application in most office or clinic outpatient settings. Published data are accumulating that support the safety of the prostaglandin preparations for this purpose. Sweeping the membranes in the office and clinic does have sufficient data to support its continued use for this purpose.
