Abstract EN
Aim.
To compare the efficacy, safety, and patient’s perception of two prostaglandin E2 application methods for induction of labour.
Method.
Above 36th weeks of gestation, all women, who were admitted to hospital for induction of labour, were prospectively randomised to intravaginal 1 mg or intracervical 0.5 mg irrespective of cervical Bishop score.
The main outcome variables were induction-to-delivery interval, number of foetal blood samples, PDA rate, rate of oxytocin augmentation, rate of vaginal delivery, and patient’s perception using semantic differential questionnaire.
Results.
Thirty-nine patients were enrolled in this study.
There was no statistical significant difference between the two groups in regard to perceptions of induction.
The median induction delivery time using intravaginal versus intracervical administration was 29.9 versus 12.8 hours, respectively (P=0.04).
No statistically difference between the groups was detected in regard to parity, gestation age, cervical Bishop score, number of foetal blood samples, PDA rate, rate of oxytocin augmentation, and mode of birth.
Summary.
Irrespective of the cervical Bishop Score, intracervical gel had a shorter induction delivery time without impingement on the women’s perception of induction.
