Prostaglandin E2 compared with oxytocin for the induction of labour

I L Craft et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

A comparison has been made between the effectiveness of infusing prostaglandin E(2) with Syntocinon for the induction of labour in the presence of intact membranes. Rapid titration schedules were used to induce an early uterine response. All 15 subjects receiving prostaglandin E(2) achieved cervical dilatation, whereas this occurred in only 9 out of 15 patients receiving Syntocinon.
