Induction of labour using prostaglandin E2 pessaries.

J Shepherd, J M Pearce, C D Sims.   

Abstract

The routine method of induction at Queen Charlotte's Maternity Hospital is now by the use of prostaglandin E2 pessaries. The first 502 consecutive patients thus induced are presented: the caesarean section rate for a failed induction with an unfavourable cervix has fallen to 2%. The prostaglandin E2 pessary is highly efficient and acceptable for all cases in which a simple amniotomy will not suffice.
