Body temperature recordings during oral prostaglandin E2 induction of labor
Obstet Gynecol.
1979 Nov.
Abstract
Body temperature measurements have been recorded in 99 patients during the course of labor induction with oral prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). From the data obtained, there is no evidence that oral PGE2, in the usual dosage for induction of labor, acts as a pyretic agent. If fever is encountered during the course of an oral PGE2 induction, the obstetrician would be advised to look for some other cause for the temperature elevation.
