Single shot prostaglandin gel for labor induction.

J H Kennedy, M A Quinn, P W Howie, A A Calder.   

Abstract

A viscous suspension of prostaglandin E2 was introduced endocervically to induce labor in patients with favourable induction features. The method was found to be effective and compared favourably with the conventional practices of amniotomy and intravenous oxytocin infusion or oral prostaglandin therapy. Several advantages were found including a high degree of patient acceptability.
