Abstract
Midwifery Unit Managers completed surveys in 2008 and 2014 to determine methods of induction of labour. There was an increase in balloon catheter use for cervical ripening (rate difference 37%, P = 0.007). Currently, all respondent hospitals have an oxytocin protocol; district hospitals had a significant increase in use of post-maturity protocols (rate difference = 40%, P = 0.01) but there was no change in use of prostaglandin protocols.Entities:
