title: [Planimetric analysis of labour induced by means of prostaglandin F 2 alpha and oxytocin (author's transl)].
abstract: Planimetry has been used to analyse the tocographic tracings recorded from 29 deliveries induced by means of prostaglandin F 2 alpha as well as those recorded from 28 deliveries induced by means of oxytocin. The contraction-causing effect of prostaglandin was found to be milder than that of oxytocin. Prostaglandin F 2 alpha, consequently, proved to be superior to oxytocin in handling placental insufficiency.
